Job 25
Justification
Job 25:4
Conversion is a human act. It is the turning of the sinner in will and in act to his God. Justification is a Divine Job 25:5-6
The penitential tone of all Christian devotion bears witness to the conscious depth of the moral life,—to the beauty of God's holiness that makes a blot of our saintliest light ("beholding the moon and it shineth not"). In all things, the sense of shortcoming has pervaded the consciousness of modern times.
—Martineau.
