being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Rom 3:24-26 *

To justify is to declare righteous. It is a judicial term indicating that a verdict of aquittal has been announced, excluding all possibility of condemnation. *

Indeed in scripture justification is invariably set over condemnation (Deut. 25:1; Rom. 5:16, 8:33-34). The claims of God's law against the sinner have been fully satisfied. Justification is not because of any overlooking, suspending or altering of God's righteous demands, but because of Christ all of His demands have been fulfilled. *

Christ's perfect life of obedience to the law and His atoning death which paid its penalty are the basis for our justification (Rom. 5:9) Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. *

Justification could never be based on our good works, for God retires perfect obedience, which is impossible for man. *

The means of justification is faith. (Rom. 3:22, 25, 28, 30) 22]even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; 25] whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, *

28] Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. 30] since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. *

Faith is never the ground of justification; it is the means or channel through which God's grace can impute to the believing sinner the righteousness of Christ. When we believe, all that Christ is, God puts to our account; thus we stand acquitted. Then God can justly announce that, acquittal, and that pro nouncement is justification. *
