“Works can be considered in three ways: either with reference to justification or sanctification or glorification.
They are related to justification not antecedently, efficiently and meritoriously, but consequently and declaratively.
They are related to sanctification constitutively because they constitute and promote it.
They are related to glorification antecedently and ordinatively because they are related to it as the means to the end; yea, as the beginning to the complement because grace is glory begun, as glory is grace consummated.”
–Francis Turretin, Institutes of Elenctic Theology, (17.3.15). Ed. James Dennison (Phillipsburg, NJ: P&R, 1692/1996), 2:705.
