“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9) Thus, it is certain: the justification of a poor sinner before God stands rock-solid, for it rests as much on God’s righteousness, holiness, and faithfulness as on His goodness and grace. Its foundation is that God’s Son has already reconciled all people, already paid the debt of sin, and already acquired and offered them forgiveness and righteousness.—C. F. W. Walther,
God Grant It!, p. 658.
