We care for no knowledge in the world but this : that Man hath sinned, and God hath suffered ; that God hath made himself the son of man, and that Men are made the Righteousness of God.
Page 15 - God beholdeth with a gracious eye, putteth away his sin .by not imputing it, taketh quite away the punishment due thereunto, by pardoning it, and accepteth him in Jesus Christ, as perfectly righteous, as if he had fulfilled all that...
Page 14 - By this then you may well perceive, that the only mean and instrument of salvation required of our parts is faith ; that is to say, a sure trust and confidence in the mercies of God ; whereby we persuade ourselves, that God both hath, and will forgive our sins, that he hath accepted us again into his favour, that he hath released us from the bonds of damnation, and received us again into the number of his elect people, not for our merits or deserts, but only and solely for the merits of Christ's...
