Heidelberg Q61
Source: Heidelberg Catechism (1563) (Q61 · Lord's Day 23) · catechism
Why sayest thou, that thou art righteous by faith only?
Not that I am acceptable to God on account of the worthiness of my faith; but because only the satisfaction, righteousness, and holiness of Christ is my righteousness before God; and that I cannot receive and apply the same to myself any other way than by faith only.
