According to Romans 3:24, what is the stated basis by which people are made right with God?

### Why this is right Romans 3:24 describes justification as a free gift of grace and connects it with redemption in Christ Jesus. Grace means God’s unearned favor, while redemption describes deliverance secured through Christ. ### The concept **Justification** is being declared righteous or placed in right standing with God. The passage contrasts this gift with a status earned through personal merit or ritual observance. Good works may appear elsewhere as the purpose and fruit of a changed life, but this verse does not present them as the price of justification. ### The other options - **B. By keeping the Law of Moses**: Galatians 2:16 specifically rejects works of the Law as the basis for justification. - **C. By social membership in the church**: The verse grounds right standing in grace and redemption, not membership. - **D. By personal merit accumulated through good works**: This reverses the claim that justification is given freely. ### Terms - **Justification**: Being declared righteous and placed in right standing with God. - **Redemption**: Deliverance or release secured through Christ. ### Remember In this material, grace is the basis of justification, not a reward for earning it.
