The Christian concept of justification is that

A.

By his natural wisdom, a sinner could be reconciled to God

B.

Through faith in Christ, the sinner is regarded as guiltless before God

C.

By one's efforts in keeping the Law, man is perfect before God

D.

Through his own knowledge, man can do what is pleasing to God

Correct answer is B

In Romans, Paul develops justification by first speaking of God's just wrath at sin (Romans 1:18-3:20). Justification is then presented as the solution for God's wrath (Romans 3:21-26, Romans 5:1). One is said to be 'justified by faith apart from works of the Law' (Romans 3:28).
