This doctrine [justification] is the head and the cornerstone. It alone begets, nourishes, builds, preserves, and defends the church of God; and without it the church of God cannot exist one hour. -- Martin Luther
Wherever the knowledge of it [justification] is taken away, the glory of Christ is extinguished, religion abolished, the Church detroyed, and the hope of salvation utterly overthrown. -- John Calvin
There is something inexpressibly pleasing to a justified mind to know that God has all the honor in our salvation, and we have none; to know that God's honor is not violated, but on the contrary, shines more illustrious; to know that God's law is not injured, but magnified and made honorable, to know that we are safe, and God has all the glory. -- Robert Murray M'Cheyne
