Q. 2. What then is our Justification, or Righteousness before God?
A. The gracious free Act 1of God, imputing the righteousness of Christ to a believing Sinner, and for that speaking Peace unto his Conscience, in the Pardon of his Sin, pronouncing him to be just, and accepted before him, Gen. 15. 6. Act. 13. 38, 39. Luk. 18. 14. Rom. 3. 24, 26, 28. Rom. 4. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Gal. 2. 16.
- 1Legal and Evangelical justification differ; first, on the part of the Persons to be justified: the one requiring a Person legally and perfectly righteous, the other a believing Sinner; Secondly, on the part of God, who in the one is a severe righteous Judge, in the other, a merciful reconciled Father; thirdly, in the Sentence, which in the one, acquitteth, as having done nothing amiss, the other as having all amiss pardoned.
Q. 3. Are we not then righteous before God, by our own Works?
