SALVATION & VOCATION BRI563
It is certainly false, that what Christ obtained for us, was an offer of pardon and salvation: Or a declaration and promise from God, that he would pardon and save us, upon our performing such, or the other conditions. The virtue, efficacy, and merit of the Redeemer's blood and righteousness are not dependent on any thing in us; they result entirely form the nature of his sufferings, obedience, and the dignity of his person, and therefore, of themselves, without the performance of any conditions by us, are available to procure for us what benefits were promised to us by the divine Father, upon his undertaking, as our surety, to obey the law and suffer its curse: And, consequently, it is false, that Christ obtained for us only a proposal, or verbal grant of salvation; and we are not left to acquire for ourselves a right to pardon, peace, and eternal blessedness, which many affirm we are.
