[W]e do affirm that Christ fulfilled the law for us submitting to the obedience of it, and performing all that righteousness which of us it requires, that we might have a complete righteousness wherewith to appear before God. And this is that which
is intended by the active and passive righteousness of Christ.John Owen | “Vindiciae Evangelicae” (1655), The Works of John Owen, 12:77

This alone is the stable foundation of faith in our access unto God. . . . It were well if we did always consider aright what love, what thankfulness, what obedience, are due unto him on the account hereof. . . . How unquestionable, how perfect must the atonement be that was thus made! How glorious the redemption that was procured thereby.”
Great quote, especially at this time of year.
