True Justification. February 22.

God grant us to be among those who wish to be really justified by faith, by being made just persons by faith, -- who cannot satisfy either their conscience or their reason by fancying that God looks on them as right when they know themselves to be wrong; and who cannot help trusting that union with Christ must be something real and substantial, and not merely a metaphor and a flower of rhetoric.

MS. 1854.
