Right with God through Christ's Redemption

Pastor walks his children through Children's Catechism question 50—especially explaining how God makes sinners right with Himself. Q50. What is justification? It is God's forgiving sinners, and treating them as if they had never sinned. Justification is God's act of declaring sinners righteous solely by His grace, through faith in Christ, not by any works of the law. It arises from the recognition that all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory, making a divine payment necessary for the offense against His infinite worth. Christ, as the propitiation through His blood, fully bore God's wrath and satisfied divine justice, enabling God to forgive sins and treat believers not merely as if they had never sinned, but according to the perfect righteousness of Christ. Even in final glorification, believers remain justified not by their own righteousness, but solely by Christ's, Who is their own by faith.
