Justification Rests on Christ Alone

Justification is solely based on Christ's righteousness, not on human efforts or faithfulness. This righteousness is imputed to believers, meaning it is accounted to them rather than inherently infused. In 2 Corinthians 5:21, it is emphasized that Christ, who knew no sin, became sin for humanity, highlighting the substitutionary nature of His sacrifice. Additionally, there is a contention with certain proponents of the New Perspective on Paul (NPP) who aim to refute the traditional evangelical view that Christ's death propitiated God's wrath, underlining the importance of acknowledging the completeness of Christ's atoning work.
