“There is no more for him to do, but only to know and believe, that Jesus Christ hath done all for him…This, then, is perfect righteousness, only to know and believe, that Jesus Christ is now gone to the Father, and sitteth at his right hand, not as a Judge, but as made to you of God, wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption; wherefore, as Paul and Silas said to the jailor, so I say unto you, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” That is, be verily persuaded in your heart that Jesus Christ is yours, and that you shall have life and salvation by him; that whatsoever Christ did for the redemption of mankind, he did it for you.”

The Marrow of Modern Divinity, pp. 118, 119
