第二部分 論人的得救
第60問：你怎樣在上帝面前被稱為義人呢？
60 Q. How are you righteous before God?

答：我單單因為真實信靠耶穌基督，而在上帝面前稱義；換句話說，儘管我的良心控告我嚴重地干犯了上帝一切的誡命，又沒有遵守其中任何一條誡命，並且仍然時常傾向於各樣的罪惡；然而上帝出於白白的恩典，並非出於我的任何功德，將基督完全的補贖、公義和聖潔賜於我，歸算在我身上，結果是：好像我從來就沒有犯過罪，已經完全順服似的；我雖然不能順服，但基督已經為我成全，基督在每件事上的順服，都好像是我在順服似的，這ㄧ切恩惠都只要我用信心接受就夠了。
A. Only by true faith in Jesus Christ. Even though my conscience accuses me of having grievously sinned against all God’s commandments, of never having kept any of them, and of still being inclined toward all evil, nevertheless, without any merit of my own, out of sheer grace, God grants and credits to me the perfect satisfaction, righteousness, and holiness of Christ, as if I had never sinned nor been a sinner, and as if I had been as perfectly obedient as Christ was obedient for me. All I need to do is accept this gift with a believing heart.
