Christian theology
The path of the individual from sin into grace. While others have interpreted it as a conversion of a sinner who has received grace, some theologians have used the term to refer to a repentant sinner who has been pardoned by God and attained the status of a righteous man.

Use the word to explain how one can be justified before God? His answer was that people were transformed from sinners into righteous people by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, not by anyone's efforts. St. Augustine saw it as an act of God making sinners righteous, while Martin Luther emphasized justification by faith.

This is a very important theological concept in the Bible; Common forms, whether the noun "justification," the verb "to justify," or the verb "to be justified," are often used in court. An acquittal by a judge (judge) (Deut 25:1). The Lord is often referred to as the judge of mankind (Psalm 9:4; Thirty-five; Jeremiah 11:20); His judgment is just: "Will not the judge of all the earth be just?" (Gen. 18:25) Because the Lord is totally just (Psalm 145:17) and in him there is no injustice (Deuteronomy 32:4; So.iii. 5). If the wrath of the Lord be upon the wicked, and it is his iniquity, how shall the Lord judge the world? (Romans 3:5-6). However, the Lord, who is just, hates sin and punishes sin, but forgives and accepts sinners who are willing to respond to Him in faith (Ps 32:1-5; Lu 18:9-14; Acts X. 48; If one nine).

By the patristic period, Paul's doctrine of justification was clouded and blurred. The famous Father Augustine (354-430), though once reiterating Paul's position, eventually merged the court concept of the immediacy of justification with the life of the lifelong sexual pursuit of sanctification, and justification was no longer a mere declarative statement, but a concept essentially related to the spiritual growth of the believer. This combined view opens up the position held by the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages, as represented by the position of the theological master St. Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225-1274) : Thomas sees justification as the means of grace, a transcendent virtue, such as love and other virtues (this is called "justification"), injected into the human heart by the justifying God, but the grace of justification must continue to be cultivated by the strict observance of the sacraments (the Eucharist)(cf. 584). It follows that justification is no longer a status or position acquired by a simple sentence, but is the result of a situation.

The Reformation of the sixteenth century (cf. 273), begun by M. Luther (1483-1546), can also be said to have developed from his discovery of Paul's doctrine of justification by faith. Luther argued that justification is a statement of imputed (forensic) righteousness, rather than a transcendent act infused with righteousness. He discovers that
Paul Loc
The stated Gospel is that in the statement of justification, the righteousness of Christ is credited to the believers by their belief, making them blameless before God, despite the fact that they are still sinners. God justifies sinners by His love and grace through the redeeming work of Christ. Thus the claim to be counted or justified is connected with the atoning death of faith in Christ; This is the objective reason for a believer to be judged righteous. God, who loves and is just, does not ignore human sin; Christ paid the punishment of sin by his death on the cross, and by believing in him, men can enjoy the righteousness that belongs to Him alone.
Reformers in the sixteenth and seventh centuries, such as Ph. Melanchton (1497-1560), J. Calvin (1509-1564), and J.Wesley (1703-1791), followed Luther's doctrine of justification by faith.
Since the Reformation, the doctrine of justification has been a theological subject of controversy between Catholicism and Christianity. The Catholic position emphasizes righteous works that come from receiving grace, while Christianity proclaims the Gospel of justification by faith. By the end of the 20th century, the two sides were able to engage in dialogue with an open mind, and through the efforts of the theological committees of the two sides, a basic consensus had been reached and unnecessary misunderstandings had been removed. Although the Catholic (justified) and Christian (justified) traditions place different emphasis and claims on "to be justified," both accept that sinners are "justified" by the grace of God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
