Justification by Faith. 119 righteousness of Christ is instated upon the believer. * * * Indeed this union is a high and inscrutable mystery, yet plain it is that there is such a close, spiritual, and real union between Christ and a believer. * * * So Faith is the way and means of our Justification. By Faith we are united to Christ By that union we truly have a righteousness. And upon that righteousness the justice as well as mercy of God is engaged to justify and acquit us.”* *E. Hopkins, “The Doctrine of the Covenants.”
