Romans 3:24-26
3:24 But they are justified
freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
3:25 God publicly displayed
him
at his death
as the mercy seat
accessible through faith.
This was to demonstrate
his righteousness, because God in his forbearance had passed over the sins previously committed.
3:26 This was
also to demonstrate
his righteousness in the present time, so that he would be just
and the justifier of the one who lives because of Jesus’ faithfulness.
Romans 5:1
The Expectation of Justification
5:1 Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Galatians 3:7-12
3:7 so then, understand
that those who believe are the sons of Abraham.
3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the gospel to Abraham ahead of time,
saying, “
All the nations will be blessed in you.”
3:9 So then those who believe
are blessed along with Abraham the believer.
3:10 For all who
rely on doing the works of the law are under a curse, because it is written, “
Cursed is everyone who does not keep on doing everything written in the book of the law.”
3:11 Now it is clear no one is justified before God by the law, because
the righteous one will live by faith.
3:12 But the law is not based on faith,
but
the one who does the works of the law
will live by them.
Galatians 3:22
3:22 But the scripture imprisoned
everything and everyone
under sin so that the promise could be given – because of the faithfulness
of Jesus Christ – to those who believe.
Ephesians 2:5
2:5 even though we were dead in transgressions, made us alive together with Christ – by grace you are saved!

Ephesians 2:8
2:8 For by grace you are saved
through faith,
and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God;
Titus 3:7
3:7 And so,
since we have been justified by his grace, we become heirs with the confident expectation of eternal life.”
