I. Justification
1989
The first work of the grace of the Holy Spirit is conversion, effecting
justification in accordance with Jesus’ proclamation at the beginning of the
Gospel: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”38
Moved by grace, man turns toward God and away from sin, thus accepting
forgiveness and righteousness from on high. “Justification is not only the
remission of sins, but also the sanctification and renewal of the interior
man.39
