The Believer's Triumph
Blessed be the triune God
Blessed be God the Father for his marvelous grace, from which my justification flows.
Blessed be God the Son, who wrought out and brought in the everlasting righteousness, for the sake of which I am justified.
Blessed be the Holy Spirit, for working faith in my heart, revealing Christ to my soul, and enabling me to appropriate him, and so justifying me by faith in Christ. Not only so—but for enabling me to bring forth the fruits of righteousness, by which faith is justified and God is glorified.
Thus God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, the one all-glorious Triune God of salvation—is revealed, honored, and glorified—in the justification of every sinner.
