Summary

The really good news of the Gospel is, that we are justified freely by God’s grace. Justified is a judicial term, a courtroom term. To be justified means to be pronounced guiltless, though we are proven guilty by God’s law. It means to be pronounced righteous, once for all, because the righteousness of Christ is applied to our lives. A simple way to think of it is to think: Just-as-If-I’d never sinned. When we place our trust in what Jesus did on the cross—enduring our punishment for our sin—God declares us righteous—or right with Him. His righteousness is activated by your faith in him, and you are viewed by God as though you had never sinned.
