Verses about Justification by Grace through Faith (Bolded for specific verses on Justification by Faith)
"For GOD so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life."-John 3:16.
"21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD, 24 and all are justified freely by His Grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25GOD presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of His blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance He had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26 He did it to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus. 27 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith. 28 For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. 29 Or is GOD the GOD of Jews only? Is he not the GOD of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, 30 since there is only one GOD, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. 31 Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law."-Romans 3:22-31.
1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter? 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before GOD. 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed GOD, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 4 Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation. 5 However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness. 6 David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: 7 “Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord will never count against them.”-Romans 4:1-8. "Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all."-Romans 4:16. "23 The words “It was credited to him” were written not for him alone, 24 but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. 25 He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification."-Romans 4:23-25. " 1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of GOD."-Romans 5:1-1-2.

"6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in GOD through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation."-Romans 5:6-11. 30 What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; 31 but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal. 32 Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone. 33 As it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”-Romans 9:30-32. "Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes."-Romans 10:4. "8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved."-Romans 10:9-10. "And if by Grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be Grace."-Romans 11:6. "nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus,

In order to be saved you must repent and believe The Gospel, repenting refers to a turning away from, it is to turn away from sin, your old life and your old thinking, and thus turn to GOD, holiness and a new thinking. Repentance is completely necessarily for Salvation, anyone who has Truly been converted will grow in love for GOD and repentance of sin. Here are three verses that show clearly that it is nessercary to turn from sin: "But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”-Revelation 21:8. Here we see that those who continue to be cowards, refuse to believe in Christ, murderers ect. Will be thrown into Hell, where they will suffer. "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the Kingdom of GOD. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."-1 Corinthians 6:9-11. Here we see that though when Real Christians were unconverted and were not new creations (Galatians 6:15, 2 Corinthians 5:17) and not Spiritually Born Again, which Jesus said was necessary to see the Kingdom of GOD, "Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the Kingdom of GOD unless they are born again.” (John 3:3) They were deeply involved in sin, however after GOD gave them a New Heart and Spirit to serve GOD. "Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord."...
Scripture is clear: We are saved by GOD`s Grace through faith in Jesus Christ, His suffering, His death and His resurrection. We are not saved by what we (see verses above) so we cannot brag before GOD, we are not saved by choosing GOD before He chooses us (GOD decided this in order that we cannot boast in saying "We are better then others, because we choose GOD and you didn`t.") It is GOD who chooses us, fully by His Grace, we cannot choose GOD because we by human nature hate GOD and love sin, we are dead in our sins and transgressions . (Ephesians 2:1, Matthew 15:19)
