As God justifies sinners freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ, so faith alone is adapted to receive justification purely of grace; and this the apostle clearly intimates, when he says, "Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace." Here we see that faith and grace are in perfect unison, and suited to each other. Faith magnifies grace, and ascribes all to it; and grace admits nothing but faith, for both are opposed to works. Grace and faith will not mix or compound with works in this matter. Men must either be justified wholly of works, or wholly of grace through faith.
