Justification Before God: Under the Gospel is not of Faith and Works United

Acts 15:1–29
Then some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” / And after engaging these men in sharp debate, Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question. / Sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, recounting the conversion of the Gentiles and bringing great joy to all the brothers.
Romans 3:28
For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
Romans 11:6
And if it is by grace, then it is no longer by works. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace.
Galatians 2:14–21
When I saw that they were not walking in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, “If you, who are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?” / We who are Jews by birth and not Gentile “sinners” / know that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
Galatians 5:4
You who are trying to be justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
