Thirdly, I add of a man justified: for two causes: first, to show that justification and sanctification are two divers gifts of God, and their difference may appear in three things: first, in that justification is out of a man; sanctification is within him. Secondly, justification absolves a sinner, and makes him stand righteous at the bar of Gods judgement; sanctification cannot do this. Thirdly, justification brings peace of conscience; so doth not sanctification, but followeth that peace.
Thirdly, I adde of a man iustified: for two causes: first, to shew that iustification and sanctification are two diuers gifts of God, and their difference may appeare in three things: first, in that iustification is out of a man; sanctification is within him. Secondly, iustification absolues a sinner, and makes him stand righteous at the barre of Gods iudgement; sanctification cannot doe this. Thirdly, iustification brings peace of conscience; so doth not sanctification, but followeth that peace.
Thus the Apostle hath them distinct, 1. Cor. 6.11. Ye are washed, ye are justified and sanctified: as also 1. Cor. 1.30. Christ is made to us righteousness and sanctification. Secondly, because justification goes with sanctification, though justification be before in nature, yet they are wrought at the same time. For when God accepts a mans person, then is he made just, who is also sanctified. Fourthly, I say the image of God is hereby restored, the which that we may know wherein it consisteth, consider the three-fold estate of man; the first of innocency, the second after the fall, and the third under Christ. First, in innocency man had three things: first, substance of body & soul: secondly, the faculties of soul, as reason and understanding: thirdly, the image of God standing in the conformity of the whole man, to the will of God. Secondly, in the state after the fall man hath two of these: first, substance of body and soul: secondly, faculties as before. But the third is wanting, standing in righteousness and holiness, and in stead of it is found in every man original sin, which distempereth and disordereth the whole man, his mind, will and affections, and carrieth him against the will of God. In the third condition under Christ we have three things: first, substance of body and soul: secondly, faculties of the reasonable soul: thirdly, a new created holiness and righteousness, before lost, but now restored by grace above nature; and this is a renewed conformity to the will of God, and the image of God again restored.
