I trust
I have now sufficiently shown how man’s only resource for escaping from the
curse of the law, and recovering salvation, lies in faith; ... The whole may be thus summed up:
Christ given to us by the kindness
of God is apprehended and possessed by faith, by means of which we obtain in
particular a twofold benefit; first, being reconciled by the righteousness of
Christ, God becomes, instead of a judge, an indulgent Father; and, secondly,
being sanctified by his Spirit, we aspire to integrity and purity of life.
- John Calvin
