"All are justified and made upright and in right standing with God, freely
and gratuitously by His grace, His unmerited favor and mercy, through the
redemption which is provided in Christ Jesus. Whom God put forward, before
the eyes of all, as a mercy seat and propitiation by His blood, the cleansing and
life-giving sacrifice of atonement and reconciliation, to be received through faith.
This was to show God's righteousness, because in His divine forbearance He had
passed over and ignored former sins without punishment."
(Romans 3:24-25)

"Being justified freely by His Grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus."
"Christ has met all. He paid for all our sins. If we believe on Jesus we are justified
freely by His Grace, that is, as a free gift. And justification is acquittal; we are acquitted
from sin and from any charge of it. It is divine righteousness that acts in justifying;
righteousness that is just that attribute of God which is concerned in it.
It is like a broad, effectual shield stretched over the believer, and for all like a house
that with its open door invites men to take shelter from the coming storm of judgment.
The redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ has satisfied every claim forever."
