"Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." (Romans 5:1)
Since faith is the depending upon the word of God only,
for what that word says,
being justified by faith is simply being accounted righteous by depending upon the word only.
And since the word is the word of God, dependence upon the word only is dependence upon God only, in the word.
Justification by faith, then, is justification--being accounted righteous by dependence upon God only; and upon him only because he has promised."
