The word 'justified' is derived from the Greek word 'dikaioō,' which means 'to be declared righteous.' Justification is the freedom from the penalty of sin. Since you have been freed from the penalty of sin, you have been justified.

Many believers often confuse justification with sanctification. Justification doesn't make you free; rather, it declares you free. It is sanctification that makes you free. Sanctification enables you to have the mind of Christ and allows you to bear fruit.

Justification involves the regeneration of the spirit, which occurs when you are born again. However, sanctification is what transforms you to look like Christ. Many believers are justified but not sanctified, they still have the fruit of the flesh. It is sanctification that enables you to walk in the spirit.
