Chapter 11: Of Justification PARAGRAPH 3 Christ, by His obedience and death, did fully discharge the debt of all those who are justified; and did, by the sacrifice of Himself in the blood of His cross, undergoing in their stead the penalty due to them, make a proper, real, and full satisfaction to God’s justice in their behalf;8 yet, in as much as He was given by the Father for them, and His obedience and satisfaction accepted in their stead, and both freely, not for anything in them,9 their justification is only of free grace, that both the exact justice and rich grace of God might be glorified in the justification of sinners.10 8 Heb. 10:14; 1 Pet. 1:18–19; Isa. 53:5–69 Rom. 8:32; 2 Cor. 5:2110 Rom. 3:26; Eph. 1:6–7, 2:7
