"As soon as the sinner by faith accepts God's general pardon... he is personally justified... justfication is thus by grace alone without works. It (justification) puts the believer into possession of all the merits or blessings secured by Christ's perfect obedience. The justified sinner has entered into the state of grace and peace, in which he is assured of his present and final salvation."
-- John Theodore Mueller, Christian Dogmatics, p. 319 (cited in "Justified in Christ" K. Scott Oliphint, ed. (Christian Focus)
