JUSTIFICATION

God's Word Teaches: That justification is God's grace through which one receives forgiveness and remission of sins and is counted righteous before God, through faith in the atoning blood of of Jesus. Having thus been cleared of every guilt of sin, the regenerated stands before God as though he had never sinned, not on the basis of any personal merit but in the light of what
Christ had accomplished for mankind by His substitutionary death on the cross of Calvary (Psalm 32:1-2; Isaiah 1:8; Micah 7:19; Acts 13:38-39).
