'Justified' in the Bible

know that no one is justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ. And we have believed in Christ Jesus so that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no human being will be justified.

But if we ourselves are also found to be “sinners” while seeking to be justified by Christ, is Christ then a promoter of sin? Absolutely not!

Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because the righteous will live by faith.

The law, then, was our guardian until Christ, so that we could be justified by faith.

You who are trying to be justified by the law are alienated from Christ; you have fallen from grace.
