United Methodist Theological Understanding of Justification
According to the 2000 Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church, "We believe God reaches out to the repentant believer in justifying grace with accepting and pardoning love. ... In justification we are, through faith, forgiven our sin and restored to Gods favor. ... Justification is an act of God, a free gift, by which the repentant sinner is declared to be free from guilt and the consequences of sin. ... This process of justification may be sudden and dramatic, or gradual and cumulative. ...
In justification we are, through faith, forgiven our sin and restored to Gods favor.
