Justification expresses the thought that, because of the death of Christ, a person who recognizes their sin and turns to Jesus for help, is justified or considered as right in God's sight. The sinner who identifies self with Christ and all that he stands for, is regarded by God as perfect. When we hold onto Jesus God doesn't see us the way we are, he sees us the way Jesus is. Through Jesus our Saviour a right relationship with God is restored. All these terms or words mean one and the same thing - that the crucifixion of Jesus Christ has gained the forgiveness of God for those who believe.
Death is the penalty, or price of sin.
Christ died, and by his death the penalty was paid once and for all. Now God's forgiveness is for all. Forgiveness There is one condition for salvation, one rule or law we must obey. We often believe that to become a friend of God we must obey many laws. The sinner must come to God and ask for forgiveness.
