“What beauty have we in justification, to be clothed with the righteousness of Christ,
that perfect righteousness, that can answer the justice of God much more Satan’s
cavils and the troubles of our own consciences.

That righteousness that satisfieth the justice of God, being the righteousness of
God-Man, it will satisfy conscience, and Satan’s temptations.

It is a garment without spot. Satan can pick no hole in that glorious garment, the
righteousness of Christ.

If we have the wardrobe of Christ, we shall be beautiful in that we have from Christ,
we shall shine in His beams.”
