This also is a part of the teaching of the Church, that there are certain angels of God, and certain good influences, which are His servants in accomplishing the salvation of men.

For even these are no less bestowed on him of pure grace, than are righteousness and salvation themselves.

Righteous is the one who was able to demonstrate compassion in face of human suffering.

Since we have placed justification in the revelation of Jesus Christ formed and brought forth in the heart, there working his works of righteousness and bringing forth the fruits of the Spirit.

To make your people understand what righteousness is, this must be the basis of all your teaching.

Rest assured: Before God, the righteousness of Christ is all we need; before God, the righteousness of Christ is all we have.

Men are not born saints with special gifts and privileges. They fight against the world, the flesh and the devil, and as they conquer, the spirit of Jesus begins to shine through with more clarity.

It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.

But this Christ or Redeemer took not upon him the nature of angels, but the seed of Abraham, that is, human nature, that in the nature which sinned he might make the expiation required.
