Chapter 11: Of Justification

Those whom God effectually calleth, he also freely justifieth:^a not, by infusing righteousnesse into them, but by pardoning their sins, and by accounting and accepting their persons as righteous; not, for any thing wrought in them, or done by them, but for Christs sake alone; nor, by imputing faith it self, the act of beleeving, or any other evangelicall obedience, to them, as their righteousnesse, but, by imputing the obedience and satisfaction of Christ unto them,^b they receiving, and resting on him and his righteousnesse by faith; which faith, they have, not of themselves, it is the gift of God.^c

Faith, thus receiving and resting on Christ and his righteousnesse, is the alone instrument of Justification;^a yet is it not alone in the person justified, but is ever accompanied with all other saving graces, and is no dead faith, but worketh by Love.^b

Faith, thus receiving and resting on Christ and his righteousness, is the alone instrument of Justification;^a yet is it not alone in the person justified, but is ever accompanied with all other saving graces, and is no dead faith, but works by Love.^b

Christ by his obedience, and death, did fully discharge the debt of all those that are thus justified, and did make a proper, reall, and full satisfaction to his Fathers Justice in their behalf.^a Yet, in as much as he was given by the Father, for them;^b and, his obedience and satisfaction accepted in their stead;^c and, both, freely, not for any thing in them; their Justification is only of free grace;^d that, both the exact justice, and rich grace of God, might be glorified in the justification of sinners.^e

God did, from all eternity, decree to justifie all the elect,^a and Christ did, in the fullnesse of time, die for their sins, and rise again for their justification:^b neverthelesse, they are not justified, untill the holy Spirit doth, in due time, actually apply Christ unto them.^c

God did, from all eternity, decree to justify all the elect,^a and Christ did, in the fullness of time, die for their sins, and rise again for their justification:^b nevertheless, they are not justified, until the holy Spirit does, in due time, actually apply Christ unto them.^c

God doth continue to forgive the sins of those that are justified:^a and, although they can never fall from the state of Justification;^b yet, they may by their sins, fall under Gods fatherly displeasure, and not have the light of his countenance restored unto them, untill they humble themselves, confesse their sins, beg pardon, and renew their faith and repentance.^c

The Justification of Beleevers under the old Testament, was, in all these respects, one and the same with the justification of Beleevers under the new Testament.^a
