21. " The righteousness of God, which is by faith of Jesus Christ, unto all, and upon all them that be- lieve, " Rom. Iii. 24. Now it cannot be true, that the FAMILIAR LETTERS. 165 righteousness of God, and our own inherent personal righteousness are the same thing. If it be pretended, that faith is the gift of God, and as such it is the right- eousness of God, the answer is easy. Faith, consid- ered in itself, as a principle, is ours subjectively; and considered in its exercise, it is ours for...mally, or our own personal act; and in that respect, so far as it is any righteousness at all, it is onr own personal right- eousness : and therefore as it is our own personal right- eousness, it can no more properly be said to be the righteousness of God, than our breath can be said to be the breath of God, our words to be the words of God, or our locomotion to be the motion of God. For our power to breathe, to speak, or to move, is as truly the gift of God, as our power to believe. Besides, all pretences of this kind are utterly excluded by the quoted texts.
