Thanks to Matthew Mason for bringing up this quote in his discussion on Wright’s view of justification (bracketed comments his):
Calvin (Insts, III.xi.10):
“We do not, therefore, contemplate him outside ourselves from afar in order that his righteousness may be imputed to us but because we put on Christ and are engrafted into his body [NB this makes justification an ecclesial doctrine!] – in short, because he deigns to make us one with him.”
Interesting.
