Justification—“In biblical terms, justification is a divine verdict
of "not guilty—fully righteous." It is the reversal of God's attitude
toward the sinner. Whereas He formerly condemned, He now
vindicates. Although the sinner once lived under God's wrath, as a
believer he or she is now under God's blessing.” John MacArthur
