• To us it is faith, for we have not yet the thing hoped for-the glory due to that righteousness which is ours. Christ possesses it, so that we know what we hope for.

• Under law, righteousness demands that I should be kept out of glory; for, not having kept the law, “all have sinned and come short of the glory.” Under grace, righteousness demands that the believer should go into glory, even as righteousness is declared in setting Christ in the glory (John 16:10). (“Galatians 5” by H. Smith)
