In this paper you are to describe justification as an aspect of salvation, including a definition of justification, followed by an explanation
Justification is one of the many benefits of salvation. It is a hallmark doctrine exalting God’s grace to save. The justification we are describing concerns our permanent standing with God who has declared us righteous (as righteous as God). Our focus here describes our permanent standing before God as being one of unchanging positional justification.
The description of justification in Rom. 3:21–26 is extremely enriching. Paul says justification is:
Apart from human effort (v. 21a)
Affirmed by Scripture (v. 21b; cf. Rom. 4)
Acquired by faith (v. 22a)
Available to all (vv. 22b-23)
Appropriated by grace (v. 24)
Achieved by the blood (vv. 25-26)
