You are to know, That upon Faith in the Righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ, a Sinner is Perfectly Justified. The Law of God, no more binds him over, to suffer the Wrath and Curse of God, which is Threatened in the Law. The Curse of God, no more can take hold upon him; and he ha's a Formal Pardon of all his Former Sins, with a Virtual Pardon of all his Future Sins.
