But why is faith the means of justification? Simply because it is the action of union with Jesus Christ. Faith is our coming to Him, our trusting Him, our resting in Him. The moment we are united to Him, we are immediately endowed with all that He has secured for us. We are immediately justified before we have done a single good deed, because we are His and He is God's. Just as a very poor woman is a very poor woman until the very moment that she marries a wealthy man. But at the moment that she becomes his wife, she becomes a wealthy woman. It is by means of her acceptance that she becomes a wealthy woman, but her acceptance does not make her a wealthy woman; it is her husband's wealth that makes her so. So faith does not justify; Christ justifies. But faith is the act of union with Christ.
I made this last Saturday to take to a get together at church. It is very
good and very rich. Every one liked them. I got it out of the "QUICK "n
EASY" Home Cooking from April 1997
In a mixer bowl, cream together margarine and brown sugar until light and
fluffy. Beat in flour and nuts. Set aside 1 cup of this mixture.
Press remaining mixture into bottom of ungreased 8x8x2-inch baking pan.
Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, in medium mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese and sugar. Add
egg, milk, lemon juice and vanilla; beat well. Pour over baked layer in
baking pan. Sprinkle reserved flour mixture over top. Bake at 350 degrees
for 25 minutes. Cool; cut into bars. Store, covered, in the refrigerator.
Makes 2-3 dozen bars.
I doubled the recipe. I will make them again for special occasions.
