Question 60 · Of the Holy Ghost

Why affirmest thou that thou art made Righteous by Faith only?

Not for that I please God through the Worthiness of meer Faith, but because only the Satisfaction, Righteousness and Holiness of Christ is my Righteousness before God, and I cannot take hold of it, or apply it unto my self any other way than by Faith.

1 Corinthians 1:30,&c; 1 Corinthians 2:2; 1 John 5:10
