Justification

According to Pocket Dictionary of Theological Terms...

"A forensic (legal) term related to the idea of acquittal, justification refers to the divine act whereby God makes humans, who are sinful and therefore worthy of condemnation, acceptable before a God who is holy and righteous. More appropriately described as 'justification by grace through faith,' this key doctrine of the Reformation asserts that a sinner is justified (pardoned from the punishment and condemnation of sin) and brought into relationship with God by faith in God's grace alone."

....Just another reason why it's great to be a Bible/Theology major. You get the gospel while studying for finals.
