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.

Quotes on the Gospel: Sanctification

Below is a quote from John Calvin from his commentary on Romans 2, verse 25 specifically.  I found this as I read through his comments on chapter two, looking to be enlightened on the topic of Amillennialism, and stumbled onto this brief statement that I find describes what it really means to be under the gracious sanctification of God.

"...for no one, who is seriously touched and moved by the fear of God, will ever dare to raise up his eyes to heaven, since the more he strives after true righteousness, the clearer he sees how far he is from it."
