Romans 4:6-8 Even as David also describes the blessedness of the man, to whom God imputes righteousness without works,… Mr. Lyford, a Puritan divine, a few days previous to his death, being desired by his friends to give them some account of his hopes, replied, "I will let you know how it is with me, and on what ground I stand. Here is the great punishment of sin on the one hand; and here am I, a poor sinful creature, on the other; but this is my comfort, the covenant of grace, established upon so many sure promises, hath satisfied all.

This is the blessed privilege of all within the covenant, of whom I am one...I know my interest in Christ...Therefore my sins, being laid on Him, shall never be charged on me."
