Concept:Justification is God's judicial act of declaring a sinner righteous through faith in Christ's sacrifice.
Explanation:In Romans 3, Paul teaches that all have sinned and fall short of God's glory.
God's righteousness comes through faith in Christ Jesus to all who believe.
This righteousness is received freely by grace, not earned by human works.
Through Christ's atoning sacrifice, the guilt and penalty of sin are removed.
The sinner is pardoned and counted righteous before God.
It is a one-time judicial declaration, not a gradual process like sanctification.
It rests entirely on what Christ has done and is received simply by faith.
Answer:A. Act of removing the guilt and penalty of sin while making a sinner righteous through Christ atoning sacrifice.
