God hath proclaimed to the whole human race, that He only is just, and the justifier of him who believeth in Jesus; and that we are unrighteous, sinful, and perverse, and corrupt in all our doings. We have not chosen to believe God in this; and so unwilling were we, that, when He gave Christ to be our Righteousness, we nailed Him to the cross, and heaped all manner of reproach and infamy upon Him. And yet God did not, as He justly might have done, cast us headlong into the gulf of perdition, but raised up Christ for our justification.
