Paragraph 11.3

Of the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith

Christ, by His obedience and death, did fully discharge the debt of all those who are justified; and did, by the sacrifice of Himself in the blood of his cross, undergoing in their stead the penalty due to them, make a proper, real, and full satisfaction to God’s justice in their behalf;⁠1 yet, in as much as He was given by the Father for them, and His obedience and satisfaction accepted in their stead, and both freely, not for anything in them,⁠2 their justification is only of free grace, that both the exact justice and rich grace of God might be glorified in the justification of sinners.⁠3

The Westminster Confession of Faith (1646)

11.3

Christ, by his obedience and death, did fully discharge the debt of all those that are thus justified, and did make a proper, real, and full satisfaction to his Father's justice in their behalf.⁠1 Yet inasmuch as he was given by the Father for them,⁠2 and his obedience and satisfaction accepted in their stead,⁠3 and both freely, not for anything in them, their justification is only of free grace;⁠4 that both the exact justice and rich grace of God might be glorified in the justification of sinners.⁠5
