“A person can speak of his own justice without arrogance, … if he has faith in God and believes that on account of his faith he will be reckoned as just. … It was for this reason that Christ came, to establish faith and to grant us forgiveness of sin.”
Ambrose of Milan, 4th c. — Commentaries on the Twelve Davidic Psalms
