Justification

Justification: Rom.3:24 "...being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus.

Justification is God's act of grace by which He pardons a sinner and accepts him as righteous on account of the atoning work of Jesus Christ on the Cross. Remission of sin, absolution from guilt, and freedom from punishment are part of justification.

Because righteousness has been imputed to us, God calls us "justified". "Abraham believed God and it was imputed to him for righteousness." Justification produces reconciliation. Rom. 5:1

Because God the Father is satisfied (propitiation), we are freely justified. Justification occurs at the moment of a person's faith in Jesus Christ, Rom. 3:28; 5:1; Gal.3:24.
Justification does not occur through keeping the Law of Moses. Gal. 2:16.
