Justification

“Whensoever we would go down into our own hearts, and take a view of our graces, let us be sure first to look wholly out of ourselves unto Christ, as our justification, and to close with him immediately.”

“That which I have here endeavoured is to set forth to all sorts of believers, whether they have assurance or not, Christ as he is the object of our faith as justifying, and as the cause of justification to us.”

“Whoever prospers in winning souls, is first convinced that it is the arm of Jehovah only can do the work.”

“This grace of God that is so dear to God, comes good cheap to us; it cost us nothing.”

“The plain old Protestant doctrine is that the place of faith in justification is only that of a hand or instrument, receiving the righteousness of Christ, for which only we are justified.”

“Working for life, a man naturally understands; but believing for life, he understands not.”
