Romans 3:22 - Even the righteousness of God which is BY faith of Jesus Christ unto ALL and upon ALL them that believe: for there is no difference:Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation THROUGH faith in his blood, to declare HIS righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;Romans 3:26 - To declare, I say, at this time HIS righteousness: that HE might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.JUSTIFIER: There is only 'one' who can justify you before God, and that is Jesus Christ and what he finished at Calvary.Your works for God are important 'after' salvation and not 'for' salvation.Ephesians 2:10 - For we are HIS workmanship, created in Christ Jesus UNTO good works, which God hath before ordained that we should WALK in them.Salvation is 'his' work. We are 'created' in Christ, which means its only he could do the work of creation. Salvation is not an evolutionary process of growing into salvation or achieving salvation. You grow in your Christian walk but not 'into' salvation. If you believe salvation is an evolutionary process of achieving or evolving into salvation then you've placed yourself and your works on an equal plane with that of God's Son: The Lord Jesus Christ.
