'Justified' in the Bible
yet we know that a person is not justified by doing what the Law requires, but rather by the faithfulness of Jesus the Messiah. We, too, have believed in the Messiah Jesus so that we might be justified by the faithfulness of the Messiah and not by doing what the Law requires, for no human being will be justified by doing what the Law requires.
Now if we, while trying to be justified by the Messiah, have been found to be sinners, does that mean that the Messiah is serving the interests of sin? Of course not!
Now it is obvious that no one is justified in the sight of God by the Law, because "The righteous will live by faith."
And so the Law was our guardian until the Messiah came, so that we might be justified by faith.
Those of you who are trying to be justified by the Law have been cut off from the Messiah. You have fallen away from grace.
