“Throughout our life, then, we are to reflect on the fact that we are dead to sin and to ourselves, in order to live for Christ and his righteousness. And seeing that this process of rebirth is never completed as long as we are prisoners in this mortal body, we should be careful to continue repenting until we die.” (John Calvin, Truth for All Time, p. 33)

“In short; we must conclude that the great value of union with Christ is found not only in the fact that we are freely justified because of it, but also in the fact that our works are considered as righteous and are recompensed with an eternal reward.” (John Calvin, Truth for All Time, p. 35)
