Now, the great question is, whether God is indeed entitled to all the praise of this unspeakable gift of Salvation? Whether we should, as justified persons, sing to the praise and glory of ourselves; or to the praise and glory of God alone? Father, Son, and Spirit, are the sole authors, and, consequently, should receive the entire glory of our justification: It is God [the Father] Who justifieth (Romans 8:33): Who accepts us unto eternal life; and it is freely, by His grace... through the redemption that is in Christ, and through the imputation of Christs righteousness, without works (Romans 3:24, 4:6): without any consideration of the good works of an individual, and without being restrained from it by any consideration of the evil works, wrought by the person or persons to whom Christs righteousness is imputed, and who are pronounced just in consequence of that imputed righteousness. Just, even though we are not by actions of our own. Justification is also the act of God the Son, in concurrence with His Father, they both agree completely. The Son agreed to die for us and the Father agreed to allow Him.
