Romans 5.9 is gold:
Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.
πολλω ουν μαλλον δικαιωθεντες νυν εν τω αιματι αυτου σωθησομεθα δι αυτου απο της οργης
The aorist passive participle is "grand." (δικαιωθεντες νυν = having now been justified.) This is Mt. Everest.
The future passive indicative is equally grand. σωθησομεθα = we shall be saved.
We're talking mountaintop majestic peaks here. Grand beyond words.

XI. Of the Justification of Man.
WE are accounted righteous before God, only for the merit of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ by faith, and not for our own works or deservings. Wherefore that we are justified by faith only is a most wholesome doctrine, and very full of comfort; as more largely is expressed in the Homily of Justification.
