What is -
Justification -
Justification is the Christian tenet that we are absolved from our sins by believing in Jesus Christ (Romans 8:31-34). Forgiveness comes from our faith in Jesus (1 Corinthians 1:30), who was sacrificed on the cross and resurrected for our justification (Romans 4:25). No amount of good deeds can earn salvation; it is ours by the grace (gift) of God (Romans 3:24; Galatians 2:16; Titus 3:4-5). Once justified, we are entitled to all the heavenly honors and rewards that come from being in total obedience to the Mosaic law (Romans 5:1-10).
"Therefore, this may be stated as the correct formula of justification: The sinner becomes righteous in God's sight when he is in Christ: he is justified by God freely, all without a cause."
(Lewis Sperry Chafer; Systematic Theology; pg. 222).

Who was -
Sarah -
The name Sarah Means princess, also called Sara (1 Peter 3:6) or Sarai (Genesis 17:15). She was Abraham's wife, half-sister (Genesis 20:12), a woman of great faith (Hebrews 11:11) and the mother of Israel (Genesis 17:15-19). Sarah was unable to bear children and suggested to Abraham that a servant woman, Hagar, have his child (Genesis 16:1-3), a common practice of the day (Genesis 30:3-5). After Hagar delivered a son (Ishmael) for Abraham, Sarah, with God's divine intervention, became pregnant at the age of ninety (Genesis 21:1-3) and also bore Abraham a son (Isaac). Later, because she saw Hagar and Ishmael as rivals to her and Isaac, she had Abraham banish them (Genesis 21:9-10). Sarah died at the age of one hundred and twenty-seven years (Genesis 23:1-2) and was buried in a cave at Machpelah (Genesis 25:7-10). You can read more about Sarah in Genesis 11-25.
