What Man Ought to Believe Concerning God

What is justification?

Answer

Justification is an act of God's free grace in which He pardons all our sins (Romans 3:24; Ephesians 1:7), and accepts us as righteous in His sight (2 Corinthians 5:21), only for the righteousness of Christ imputed to us (Romans 5:19), and received by faith alone (Galatians 2:16; Philippians 3:9).
