_Rom. 1:17_—“_a righteousness of God from faith unto faith_”; _3:24‐30_—“_being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus ... the justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus.... We reckon therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law ... justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumsion through faith_”; _Gal. 3:11_—“_Now that no man is justified by the law before God, is evident: for, The righteous shall live by faith; and the law is not of faith; but, He that doeth them shall live in them_”; _Eph. 1:7_—“_in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace_”; _Heb. 11:4, 7_—“_By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous.... By faith Noah ... moved with godly fear, prepared an ark ... became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith_”; _cf._ _Gen. 15:6_—“_And he believed in Jehovah; and he reckoned it to him for righteousness_”; _Is. 7:9_—“_If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established_”; _28:16_—“_he that believeth shall not be in haste_”; _Hab. 2:4_—“_the righteous shall live by his faith._” _Ps. 85:8_—“_He will speak peace unto his people._” God’s great word of pardon includes all else. Peace with him implies all the covenant privileges resulting therefrom. _1 Cor. 3:21‐23_—“_all things are yours,_” because “_ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s_.” This is not salvation by law, nor by ideals, nor by effort, nor by character; although obedience to law, and a loftier ideal, and unremitting effort, and a pure character, are consequences of justification. Justification is the change in God’s attitude toward the sinner which makes all these consequences possible. The only condition of justification is the sinner’s faith in Jesus, which merges the life of the sinner in the life of Christ. Paul expresses the truth in _Gal. 2:16, 20_—“_Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law ... I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me._”
