The Doctrine of Justification by Faith

2. He is not proposed as the Object of our Faith unto the Justification of Life absolutely, but as the Ordinance of God even the Father unto that end, who therefore also is the immediate Object of Faith as Justifying; in what respects we shall declare immediately. So Justification is frequently ascribed unto Faith as peculiarly acted on him, Joh. 5.24. He that believeth on him that sent me, hath Everlasting Life, and shall not come into Judgment, but is passed from Death into Life. And herein is comprised that Grace, Love and Favour of God, which is the principal moving cause of our Justification, Rom. 3.23, 24. Add hereunto Joh. 6.29. and the Object of Faith is complete. This is the Work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. God the Father as sending, and the Son as sent, that is, Jesus Christ in the work of his Mediation, as the Ordinance of God for the Recovery and Salvation of lost sinners, is the Object of our Faith. See 1 Pet. 1.21.
