Question 61 Why sayest thou, that thou art righteous by faith only?
Why sayest thou, that thou art righteous by faith only?
Not that I am acceptable to God, on account of the worthiness of my faith; but because only the satisfaction, righteousness, and holiness of Christ, is my righteousness before God; [195] and that I cannot receive and apply the same to myself any other way than by faith only. [196]
