Because Jesus died on the cross for us, we don't have to pay the price of our sins - death. Instead, we simply have to believe in him and that he truly loves us and died for us, or have faith, and we will be saved. Therefore, our sin is justified by faith in Jesus Christ. It is paid for by his death. Hope this helps!

The religion that believes in the idea of justification by faith is?

Christianity. Various denominations within the Kingdom will argue about what it takes, exactly-word for word to be saved. James argues " What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can faith save him?" The answer is no. " As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead." When James says a person is not justified by faith alone, he means that a person is not justified by mental assent alone. As such, he says, " Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that and shudder."
