KJV Dictionary Definition: JUSTIFICATION: (#4) 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.
JUSTIFICATION - Definition from the KJV Bible Dictionary: https://av1611.com/kjbp/kjv-dictionary/justification.html

(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" confess Jesus as Lord & we believe His was raised from death.

Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words [A-1,Noun,G1347, dikaiosis] JUSTIFICATION: denotes the act of pronouncing righteous, justification, acquittal;
(b) "a sentence of acquittal," by which God acquits men of their guilt, on the conditions
(1) of His grace in Christ, through His expiatory sacrifice,
(2) the acceptance of Christ by faith, Romans 5:16.
Justification, Justifier, Justify - Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words: https://studybible.info/vines/Justification, Justifier, Justify

(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, sin redemptive death & resurrection.)

Results of Justification
Rom 5:
1 Therefore, since we have been justified [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] by faith, [let us grasp the fact that] we have peace with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed).

2 Through Him we also have access by faith into this [remarkable state of] grace in which we [firmly and safely and securely] stand. Let us rejoice in our [a]hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power]

15 But the free gift [of God] is not like the trespass [because the gift of grace overwhelms the fall of man]. For if many died by one man’s trespass [Adam’s sin], much more [abundantly] did God’s grace and the gift [that comes] by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow to [benefit] the many.

16 Nor is the gift [of grace] like that which came through the one who sinned. For on the one hand the judgment [following the sin] resulted from one trespass and brought condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift resulted from many trespasses and brought justification [the release from sin’s penalty for those who believe].

Ps 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

Rom 8:1 Therefore there is now no condemnation [no guilty verdict, no punishment] for those who are in Christ Jesus [who believe in Him as personal Lord and Savior].

(MY NOTE: Thru faith placed in Christ's sinatoning death & resurrection. Full sin acquittal/pardon Past-Present-Future!

Amen!
Counted worthy in the eyes of the Father the very moment we plead the Blood of His only begotten Son.
