There is no goal that can justify lies.
—Leo Tolstoy
Are you tried by your sin?
Jesus rose for your justification.
Does Satan accuse?
Jesus rose to be your advocate.
Do infirmities hinder?
The living Christ will show himself strong on your behalf.
Do you dread death?
Jesus has vanquished the last enemy.”

—R. A. Torrey
Justification, if dependent upon works, cannot possibly stand in the sight of God, it must depend solely on the mercy of God and communion with Christ, and therefore on faith alone.
—John Calvin
“Justification without sanctification would not be salvation at all.”

To sin is a human affair, but to justify sins is a demonic affair.
