Unbeliever Christian Justification This means an instantaneous act of God in which He thinks of our sins as forgiven and Christ’s righteousness as belonging to us.  In so doing He declares us to be righteous in His sight.
What the Bible teaches us about justification  Justification is based on the blood of Jesus. Justify means to declare as righteous not to make righteous. Justification has no grading by degrees. Justification is once for all. Justification is received by faith

Regeneration and Justification Justification is external to me. Regeneration is internal to me. Justification refers to my status; Regeneration to my state. Justification is about how God looks on me; Regeneration is about what he does in me. Justification is about Christ dying for my sins  on the cross; Regeneration is about Christ at work in me by  the Holy Spirit changing my heart.
