M. The whole world may read it. W. Not till they find it. M. Then thou deniest such promise? W. I deny no promise, but thou hast not found it. M. I will find it. W. I will wait thy finding. M. Here is a passage, which favors such promise, “Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.” W. I will not lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect. But will God justify thee, or others, who have not repented? M. I hope for justification through the blood of the cross. W. Dost thou hope for justification, while thy sins remain? Thou shouldst not hope for what is wrong. M. Is it wrong to hope for justification through faith? W. It is not wrong to hope for justification, when thou hast repented of all thy sins; but thou wilt not find justification in thy wrongs. M. Then faith will not justify the mind. W. Faith will not justify without works of good. M. Will works justify without faith? W. Works will not justify, unless they are good; and good works will justify. M. How can they justify without faith? W. They justify themselves, because they do not contradict each other. They are consistent with good, and in harmony with the law of God. They will justify the mind who acts well, because mind will not work a wrong, when good is done. When mind obeys God, by obeying the law which God has established in the wisdom of nature, he will not be condemned. God will not condemn a mind in opposition to his law. But nature will afford no justification without repentance. In vain is faith without works, because it is dead, and does no one any good. M. Then, thou wouldst justify the heathen, if they do good? W. Yea; and not evil. M. But will not the heathen be justified through faith? W. When their faith works by love, and purifies their hearts. M. Suppose it does not work by love. W. Then, thou mayest suppose it is dead, and will not justify. M. But when is faith not dead? W. When it works, when the work is good, and when others feel the benefits thereof. M. But does not Jesus say, “Thy faith hath made thee whole?” W. Yea; and thou seest why. M. Because faith saves. W. When it works, not otherwise. Thy faith hath not made thee whole, as thou sayest. M. My faith will, I trust, make me whole. W. When will thy faith make thee whole? M. Thou mayest not dispute the Bible. W. When will thy faith make thee whole? M. When the atonement is perfected in me. W. When will the atonement be perfected in thee? M. The day will come when all shall stand before God. Then all will know who are justified, and who are not. W. Thou wilt not say, that thou wilt be justified, when thou shalt stand before God, unless thy works are in harmony with the law of God? Neither wilt thou prove that thou dost not even now stand before God. But art thou justified now by faith? M. I have said, I hope to be justified, when I stand before God, in the judgment. W. Why dost thou hope, then, for justification? M. Because I believe.
