“If those united with Christ live a heavenly manner of life, then faith and zeal for good works cannot be separated. The reason is that faith and union and communion with Christ cannot be separated. For this reason, Christ is said to have been made for us not only our justification, but also our sanctification (1 Cor. 1:30). And he is said to have given himself for us so that he might deliver us from all unrighteousness and cleanse us for himself as his own special people, zealous for good works (Titus 2:14).”
― Petrus Van Mastricht, Theoretical-Practical Theology, Volume 1: Prolegomena
