Justification, we learn in this lesson, means that God declares guilty sinners righteous the moment they believe in Christ, not because of anything they earn, but entirely by His grace. The Apostle Paul explains that all people have sinned and fall short of God’s glory, yet God has revealed a new way of righteousness, made possible through Christ’s sacrificial death. When we trust that Jesus died for our sins and rose again, God imputes Christ’s righteousness to our account—satisfying His justice, removing all condemnation, and allowing us to live with confidence, gratitude, and the assurance of eternal life.
