'''Justification ''' is a term used in Christianity [[Christian]]ity to describe [[God]]'s declaration that a sinner [[sin]]ner is without sin because of God's [[forgiveness]].
===Views on justification===
Justification is often understood as the action of [[God]] in giving or reckoning the [[righteousness]] of [[Jesus]] to a [[sinner]], so that the sinner is declared by God as being righteous under the [[Law]]. In other words, justification is the term that describes the removal of sins from a person. In the [[Book of Isaiah]] the concept of justification is stated beautifully - [[Isaiah 1:18]]
: "Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool."
