“Everything that is coming to us from God comes through Christ Jesus. Christ Jesus
has won our pardon; He has reconciled us to God; He has canceled our sin; He has
secured the gift of the Spirit for us; He has granted eternal life to us and promises
us the life of the consummation; He has made us children of the new covenant; His
righteousness has been accounted as ours; He has risen from the dead, and all of
God’s sovereignty is mediated through Him and directed to our good and to God’s 
glory. This is the Son whom God sent to redeem us. In God’s all-wise plan and all-
powerful action, all these blessings have been won by His Son’s odious death and
triumphant resurrection. All the blessings God has for us are tied up with the work
of Christ.”

–D.A. Carson, _A Call to Spiritual Reformation_ (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker, 1992/2006),
189.
