We believe that the great Gospel blessing which Christ secures to such as believe in Him is justification; that Justification includes the pardon of sin, and the gift of eternal life on principles of righteousness; that it is bestowed, not in consideration of any works or righteousness which we have done, but solely through faith in the Redeemer's blood, His righteousness imputed to us.
Acts 13:39 NASB
39 and through Him everyone who believes is freed from all things, from which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses.
Isaiah 53:11 NASB
11 As a result of the anguish of His soul,
He will see it and be satisfied;
By His knowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will justify the many,
For He will bear their wrongdoings.

Romans 4:1-8 NASB
1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about; but not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 4 Now to the one who works, the wages are not credited as a favor, but as what is due. 5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness, 6 just as David also speaks of the blessing of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:7 “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven,And whose sins have been covered.8 Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not take into account.”
Hebrews 10:38 NASB
38 But My righteous one will live by faith; And if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him.
