V. Of Justification ᏴᏫ ᎤᏍᎦᏅᏨᎯ ᎨᏒ ᏧᏓᎴᏍᏗᏱ

We believe that the great gospel blessing which Christ secures to such as believe in him

is justification; that justification includes the pardon of sin, and the promise of eternal life

on principles of righteousness; that it is bestowed not in consideration of any works of

righteousness which we have done, but solely through faith in the Redeemer's blood; by

virtue of which faith his perfect righteousness is freely imputed to us of God; that it

brings us into a state of most blessed peace and favor with God, and secures every other

blessing needful for time and eternity.
