Johnathon Edwards uses way too many words.
“but I humbly conceive that we have been ready to look too far to find out what that influence of faith in our justification is, or what is that dependence of this effect on faith, signified by the expression of “being justified by faith,” all the while overlooking that which is most obviously pointed forth in the expression: that (there being a Mediator who has purchased justification) faith in this Mediator is that which renders it a fit and suitable thing in the sight of God that the believer, rather than others, should have this purchased benefit assigned to him.”
