Justification by not works according the Old Covenant, but by grace and through faith according to the Gospel of repentance is one thing....

Ephesians 2:

1. And you were dead in the trespasses and sins
2. in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience -
3. among whom we once lived in the passion of our flesh, carrying out the desire of the body and the mind, and by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.
4. But GOD, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which HE loved us,
5. even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with CHRIST - by grace you have been saved -
6. and raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the Heavenly places in CHRIST JESUS,
7. so that in the coming ages HE might show the immeasurable riches of HIS grace in kindness towards us in CHRIST JESUS.
8. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD,
9. not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
10. For we are HIS workmanship, created in CHRIST JESUS for good works, which GOD prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

11. Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called the "uncircumcision" by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands -
12. remember that you were at that time separated from CHRIST, alienated from the common wealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without GOD in the world.
13. But now in CHRIST JESUS you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of CHRIST.
14. For He Himself is our peace, who has made us one and has broken down in His flesh the dividing wall of hostility,
15. by abolishing the law of the commandments and ordinances, that He might create in Himself one new man in the place of the two, so making peace,
16. and might reconcile us both to GOD in one body through the Cross, thereby killing the hostility.
17. And He came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near.
18. For through Him we both have access in one SPIRIT to the FATHER.
19. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of GOD,
20. built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, CHRIST JESUS Himself being the corner stone,
21. in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a Holy Temple in the LORD.
22. In Him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for GOD by the SPIRIT.

John 1:

9. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.
10. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, yet the world did not know Him.
11. He came to His own, and His own people did not receive Him.
12. But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of GOD,
13. who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of GOD.

Matthew 3:

1. In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea,
2. "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."
3. For this is he who was spoken of[ by the Prophet Isaiah when he said,

"The voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the LORD; make His path straight.' "

4. Now John wore a garment of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
5. Then Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region about the Jordan were going out to him,
6. and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
7. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8. Bear fruit in keeping with repentance.
9. And do not presume to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father,' for I tell you, GOD is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.
10. Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
11. I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with HOLY SPIRIT and with fire.
12. His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will clear His threshing floor and gather His wheat into the barn, but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire."

Luke 3:

1. In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being Governor of Judea, and Herod being the tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2. during the high priesthood of Annas and Chaiaphas, the word of GOD came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
3. And he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
4. As it is written the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet,

"The voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the LORD, make His path straight.
5. Every valley shall be filled, and very mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straight, and the rough places shall become level ways,
6. and all flesh shall see the salvation of GOD.' " 
7. He said therefore to the crowds that came out to be baptize by him. "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8. Bear fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you, GOD is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.
9. Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."
10. And the crowds asked him, "What then shall we do?"
11. And he answered them, "Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise."
12. Tax collectors also came to be baptized and said to him, "Teacher, what shall we do?"
13. And he said to them, "Collect no more than you are authorized to do."
14. Soldiers also asked him, "And we, what shall we do?" And he said to them, "Do not extort money from anyone by treats or false accusation, and be content with your wages."
15. As the people were in expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the CHRIST.
16. John answered them all, saying, "I baptize you with water, but He who is mightier than I is coming, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the HOLY SPIRIT and with fire.
17. His winnowing fork is in His hands, to clear His threshing floor and to gather the wheat into His barn, but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire.
18. So with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people.
19. But Herod the tetrarch, who had been reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evil things that Herod had done,
20. added this to them all, that he locked up John in prison.
21. Now when all the people were baptized, and when JESUS also had been baptized and was praying, the Heavens were opened, and the HOLY SPIRIT descended on Him in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from Heaven, "You are my beloved SON, with you I AM well pleased."
