Our Right Standing Before God is a result of Him

Justification is "right standing before God." This was made possible for us because of the death of Jesus Christ. Our right standing is not a result of repentance or belief, but of the death of Jesus Christ. Belief is the realization of what Christ has done, but it is not the means. Turning away from our sins is the result of right standing, but it is not it's cause. Justification and sanctification are a work of God and not of man so none may boast.
