Results of Justification

Rom 3.28
Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we#5.1 Other ancient authorities read let us have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2#1 Cor 15.1; Eph 2.18; Heb 3.6through whom we have obtained access#5.2 Other ancient authorities add by faith to this grace in which we stand, and we#5.2 Or let us boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. 3#2 Cor 12.10; Jas 1.2, 3And not only that, but we#5.3 Or let us also boast in our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, 4and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5#Eph 1.13; Phil 1.20and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.

Rom 4.25
For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7Indeed, rarely will anyone die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person someone might actually dare to die. 8#Jn 15.13; 1 Pet 3.18; 1 Jn 3.16But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us. 9#Rom 3.5, 25; 1 Thess 1.10; Heb 9.14Much more surely, therefore, since we have now been justified by his blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath of God.#5.9 Gk the wrath 10#Rom 8.34; 11.28; 2 Cor 5.18; Col 1.21, 22For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more surely, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life. 11But more than that, we even boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
Adam and Christ

Gen 2.17; 3.6, 19; Rom 6.23; 1 Cor 15.21 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death came through sin, and so death spread to all because all have sinned— 13for sin was indeed in the world before the law, but sin is not reckoned when there is no law. 14#1 Cor 15.22, 45Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the likeness of Adam, who is a pattern of the one who was to come.
15But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died through the one man’s trespass, much more surely have the grace of God and the gift in the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many. 16And the gift is not like the effect of the one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the gift following many trespasses brings justification. 17If, because of the one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.
18Therefore just as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for all, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all. 19For just as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so through the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous. 20#Rom 7.7, 8; Gal 3.19; 1 Tim 1.14But law came in, so that the trespass might increase, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, 21so that, just as sin reigned in death, so grace might also reign through justification leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
