Romans 5:7-9

For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.

Further Questions for Dispensationalists - VI

Below are some supposed "quotes" that I came across, which were attributed to Chafer.  I am now trying to confirm there validity.  If anyone can help identify these, I would be very appreciative.
“With respect to regeneration, the Old testament saints were evidently renewed; but as there is no definite doctrinal teaching relative to the extent character of that renewal, no positive declaration can be made”—Chafer from ?????

“The silence of God must be respected relative to what constituted one a just man according to the Mosaic demands…The Old Testament will be searched in vain for a record of Jews passing from an unsaved state to a saved state, or for any declaration about the terms upon which such a change would be secured.  In other words, their national covenant standing was a tremendous spiritual advantage; but it cannot rightfully be compared with the estate of the believer today who is justified and perfected forever, having received the pleroma of the Godhead through vital union with Christ.”—Chafer from ???
