7. How remission of sins is given.
1Remission of sins is given by faith alone; by which, being wrought and kindled in us by the holy Ghost, we receive the same: Therefore it is then also given, when by faith it is received. God verily decreed from everlasting to pardon in Christ, for his satisfaction, the sins of the elect: but he doth actually forgive all and every faithful man their sins then, when reputing them for just, he worketh by his holy Spirit in their hearts a sense and feeling of that pardon, whereon they may for ever rest settled and confirmed: Therefore the purpose and decree of God of remitting sins is everlasting; but the executing and performance thereof is, when by faith we apply remission of sins offered unto us in the Gospel. So also God doth always love his elect: but that love is not poured out in their hearts before their repentance. For they have that certain testimony of conscience by the gift of the holy Ghost, that they are loved of God, and so have their sins remitted, who truly convert and repent.
