Justification means to be declared right in the eyes of the law. But how can God justify those who are truly guilty? We must look to the cross of Jesus Christ, where God executed perfect judgment by punishing sin. The faultless Son bore the punishment that we deserve. Alistair Begg reminds us of the truth that spurred the Reformation: justification is based on God’s work of counting our sins against Christ and crediting the righteousness of Christ to our account.
21But now athe righteousness of God bhas been manifested apart from the law, although cthe Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22the righteousness of God dthrough faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. eFor there is no distinction: 23for fall have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24gand are justified hby his grace as a gift, ithrough the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25whom God jput forward as ka propitiation lby his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in mhis divine forbearance he had passed over nformer sins. 26It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
