"This righteousness is offered us by the Holy Ghost through the Gospel and in the Sacraments, and is applied, appropriated, and received through faith, whence believers have reconciliation with God, forgiveness of sins, the grace of God, sonship, and heirship of eternal life."

GJ - The UOJ Stormtroopers try to make reconciliation "God's justification of the entire world - before and apart from faith." Their UOJ diamond is really a lump of coal, served to the innocent. The plain, simple words of the Scriptures are evident to every believer, but it takes considerable seminary training to convert justification by faith into UOJ.
