Romans 3:10 (ESV)
None is righteous, no, not one;

Habakkuk 1:6, 9 (ESV)
For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans,
that bitter and hasty nation,
who march through the breadth of the earth,
to seize dwellings not their own.
They all come for violence
all their faces forward.
They gather captives like sand.

Habakkuk 1:12 (ESV)
Are you not from everlasting,
O Lord my God, my Holy One?
We shall not die.
O Lord, you have ordained them as a judgment,
and you, O Rock, have established them for reproof.

Habakkuk 2:4 (ESV)
Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him,
but the righteous shall live by his faith.

Romans 4:5 (ESV)
And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness,

Romans 3:21 (ESV)
But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it

Romans 3:23–24 (ESV)
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

Romans 3:25 (ESV)
… whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.

Romans 3:26 (ESV)
It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

2 Corinthians 5:21 (ESV)
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

The 1689 Baptist Confession (Article 11)
By His obedience and death, Christ fully paid the debt of all those who are justified. He endured in their place the penalty they deserved. By this sacrifice of Himself in His bloodshed on the cross, He legitimately, really and fully satisfied God’s justice on their behalf. Yet their justification is based entirely on free grace, because He was given by the Father for them, and His obedience and satisfaction were accepted in their place. These things were done freely, not because of anything in them, so that both the exact justice and the rich grace of God would be glorified in the justification of sinners.

John Piper
How does the gospel save believers? How does it save you? The gospel is the power of God to save everyone who believes, because in it is being revealed … the precious truth that God gives to us what he demands from us, namely, his own righteousness. He counts us as righteous with a perfect righteousness, namely, his own. He forgives us, acquits us, justifies us by our faith.

Romans 8:33 (ESV)
Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.

Romans 8:35, 37 (ESV)
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

Romans 8:38–39 (ESV)
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

2 Corinthians 2:16 (ESV)
to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?
