Justification by Faith Alone

Christ, having been made ours, makes us sharers with
him in the gifts with which he has been endowed. We
do not, therefore, contemplate him outside ourselves
from afar in order that his righteousness may be imputed
to us but because we put on Christ and are engrafted
into his body—in short, because he deigns to make us
one with him. For this reason, we glory that we have
fellowship of righteousness with him.

• John Calvin
