Justified by Faith alone apart from works

"We are likewise told, that faith has two hands; one for taking home Christ to ourselves, and another for giving a way ourselves to Christ. But if faith must be called an instrument, and if it be at the same time maintained that justification comes by faith only; then I am at full liberty to affirm, that he who is possessed of the instrument, hand or mouth, is already justified without regard to his using the instrument, his taking or giving with the hand, or recieving with the mouth. Thus the artifice by which they would impose upon us may be very easily discerned." Robert Sandeman, Letters on Theron and Aspasio
