Insights

To justify means to prove an action or person morally right, or otherwise innocent. We might say that a person can justify his or her actions, and dikaioo has this meaning, but it can also mean to free someone from legal accusation. This is what God does for those who trust in Jesus—he frees them from a guilty verdict.
