Article XX

XX. We believe that we are made partakers of this justification by faith alone, as it is written: "He suffered for our salvation, that whosoever believes on him should not perish.' And this is done inasmuch as we appropriate to our use the promises of life which are given to us through him, and feel their effect when we accept them, being assured that we are established by the Word of God and shall not be deceived. Thus our justification through faith depends upon the free promises by which God declares and testifies his love to us.
