JUSTIFICATION
We believe that justification is that judicial act of God whereby He declares the believer righteous upon the basis of the imputed righteousness of Christ (Romans 3:24; 4:5; 5:1, 9; Galatians 2:16; Philippians 3:9; Titus 3:5); and that it is bestowed, not in consideration of any work of righteousness which we have done, but solely through faith in the Redeemer's incorruptible shed Blood (Acts 20:28; 1 Peter 1:18-19).
