For Abraham the relationship between Faith and Justification: Faith; He believed in God thus bringing trust. Secondly Justification; verified that as long as he trusted in God, and through God's perseverance and love God credited Abraham righteousness. Faith and Justification; to me they go hand in hand you may not have just one you have to have both together.

To be justified: No matter what may have been done, God sets us free from our sins allowing us to have righteousness.
