Romans 3:24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

Romans 3:28 For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

Romans 5:9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!

Galatians 2:16 know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.

These verses teach that justification is a divine act of God’s grace, made possible by the completed work on the cross and the redemptive blood of Jesus. The acceptance of this free gift by faith in Jesus Christ, brings you into the beloved.  Now when you stand before God it is not as the sinner you used to be...You are righteous before God.

...Just as if you never sinned.
