Q. How is a believing sinner justified?
A. Not because of the worth of his faith or because of his imperfect Christian obedience, but purely by grace, for the sake of Christ’s perfect atonement & intercession, with faith only as an instrument, & apart from works of the Law.—Wilhelmus Schortinghuis (1700-1750), Essential Truths in the Heart of a Christian, Pg. 94
