Justification

 

We believe that God justifies the one who places faith in Jesus. When God justifies, the believer is declared righteous, not according to any works of righteousness which we have done, but only through faith in Jesus' redemptive work. His perfect righteousness is freely imputed (credited) to our account, declaring us simultaneously not guilty and righteous. This brings us into a state of peace and favor with God.
