We are justified by faith through the righteousness of Christ. His sinless life and substitutionary death on the cross for sinners is the basis for our justification. Our sin debt is paid in full, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Romans 3:24).
We are justified by faith alone in Christ. Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1). Faith is trust and confidence, relying upon Christ alone. By faith in Christ, you are justified with God.
We are justified by grace alone through faith in Christ. Faith receives the grace of God in Christ. Faith is the evidence that we are justified by God's grace. It is our assurance of faith. Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed (Romans 4:16).
We are justified in Christ alone unto righteousness. The only way we can become righteous before God is by faith in Christ alone. Righteousness is the gift of God to believers. But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness (Romans 4:5).
