KJV Dictionary Definition: JUSTIFICATION; In theology, remission of sin and absolution from guilt and punishment; or an act of free grace by which God pardons the sinner and accepts him as righteous, on account of the atonement of Christ.

(MY PARSING of KJ dictionary: ABSOLUTION from GUILT & PUNISHMENT. Believers are JUSTIFIED = Judicially Declared RIGHTEOUS freely thru God's grace & thru/by Belief/Faith, placed in Jesus FINISHED sacrificial sin atoning redemptive work. Found in Jesus death (sins required wage PAID), burial (proof Jesus died) & His resurrection (Fathers receipt, sins wage received & accepted) We become justified, sinless, in Gods eyes, the "MOMENT" we confess Jesus as Lord & we believe His was raised from death.

God now sees us as perfect, thru "Christ's faithfully obedient, sinless redemptive work" done on/in our behalf. It's our faith placed in Christ’s finished redemptive work & resurrection whereby He washes/removes ALL of our sin Rev 1:5.)

Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words: JUSTIFICATION; denotes "the act of pronouncing righteous, justification, acquittal;" That God "justifies" the believing sinner on the ground of Christ's death, involves His free gift of life

(MY PARSING of Vines dictionary: We are justified & receive a Full Sin ACQUILTTAL. When a sovereign God judicially pronounces us righteousness. Bases on our faith placed in Christ's FAITHFUL, Finished, redemptive work & resurrection.)

Only God/Jesus truly knows our heart. When our confession & belief in Him are honest. He (only He can) baptizes us with is eternally sealing, indwelling Holy Spirit. And we become justified, sanctified & He is glorified. Amen & amen.
