22 Even the righteousness of God which is by the faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Romans 3:22-24

Being Justified is a Judicial act of God where by He declares the sinner that believes by faith alone in the gospel – “just as if they never sinned”.

How does God justify the ungodly? Through His grace! Despite our unworthiness, He accomplishes it through the work of redemption—having His own Son, Jesus Christ, pay the price for our sins by the finished work of the cross.

Justified Freely

We are justified without a cause. God wasn’t backed into a corner and finally decided okay, okay, you’re justified after all you deserve it; you were baptized, you repented, you joined a Church, you donated all that money, you did your best to keep the commandments and you even believed the gospel.

Yeah Right! We are justified freely, without a cause! It’s all God, all Grace or nothing at all.

God justifies (saves) those who believe they are sinners without hope and believe by faith alone that Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose from the dead three days later.

Do You want to be Justified by God?

In order for you or anyone else to be justified by God or saved. You must believe that you are a sinner and believe by faith alone that God sent His Son Jesus Christ to die for your sins on the cross, was buried and rose from the dead three days later. Just believe it, if you believe the gospel by faith alone, God says you are Justified — “just as if you never sinned”. 

The Gospel

1 Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
