In justifying faith concur knowledge of Gospel truth, firm assent, and the trust by which the sinner rests on Christ alone for remission of sins and acceptance with God.
Faith is the organ or instrument of justification, not a meritorious cause; Christ and His righteousness are the object and foundation.Faith apprehends; it does not earn.
Latin
In fide iustificante concurrunt notitia veritatis Euangelicae, assensus firmus, et fiducia qua peccator in solum Christum pro remissione peccatorum et acceptatione apud Deum recumbit. Fides est organon sive instrumentum iustificationis, non causa meritoria; Christus et eius iustitia sunt obiectum et fundamentum. Fides apprehendit, non meretur.
