Article IV: Of Justification.
1]Also they teach that men cannot be justified before God by their own strength, merits, or works, but are freely justified for
2]Christ’s sake, through faith, when they believe that they are received into favor, and that their sins are forgiven for Christ’s sake, who, by His death, has made satisfaction for our sins.
3]This faith God imputes for righteousness in His sight. Rom. 3 and 4.
