Justification is described as a gift from God that is freely received through faith in Christ.

• A. A reward earned by keeping the commandments.
• B. A free and undeserved gift of God through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
• C. Only available to certain people.
• D. Not related to salvation.

Answer: (B)

Justification is the act of God declaring a sinner righteous in His sight, based on Christ’s atoning sacrifice and resurrection. It is a gift of grace received by faith, not something earned by keeping commands or through human effort. This view emphasizes that salvation comes through trusting Jesus, and the righteousness credited to the believer comes from Christ, not from personal merit. It’s universal in its offer—available to all who believe—and it ties directly to salvation, restoring the relationship with God. The other descriptions miss this by suggesting righteousness is earned by works, limited to some, or not connected to salvation.
