Of justification, part 2

Confession of FaithChapter 11: Of Justification2. Faith, thus receiving and resting on Christ and his righteousness, is the alone instrument of justification:1 yet is it not alone in the person justified, but is ever accompanied with all other saving graces, and is no dead faith, but worketh by love.2John 1:12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, Romans 3:28 For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. Romans 5:1 5:1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. (ESV) James 2:17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. James 2:22 You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; James 2:26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead. Galatians 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love. (ESV)
