In the gospel is God's righteousness revealed. The awakened sinner does repent, does detest his sins, judges himself as wholly and nothing but evil in God's sight, and so humbly, thankfully casts himself on Christ.
In the gospel is revealed God's righteous consistency with Himself in revealing to the believer a salvation entirely outside himself and, therefore, by or of faith, out of that principle and no other. The gospel is God's power for salvation because in it is His righteousness revealed in the way of faith. [8]
