A. Berean on the Jeske Hymn Verse
A. Berean has left a new comment on your post "Jeske Gets "Me" into His UOJ Stanza Three Times.At...":
A citation from Martin Chemnitz:
"1 Timothy 2:6: "He gave Himself a ransom for all." Rom. 10:4: "Christ is the end of the Law that everyone who has faith may be justified." In Rom. 5:9, Paul says that we are justified through the blood of Christ. And in explanation of this he says that we are reconciled to God by the death of His Son. "For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by one man's obedience many will be made righteous (Rom. 5:19). But how? Paul answers in Rom. 4:5: "Because faith is reckoned for righteousness." Not because faith is in itself such a virtue but because it lays hold of ,accepts, embraces, and possesses Christ, who is the end of the Law for righteousness to everyone who believes. For this is the righteousness which God imputes without our works to whose who are made blessed."
