In our churches it is acknowledged among the theologians of the Augsburg Confession that all our righteousness is to be sought outside the merits, works, virtues, and worthiness of ourselves and all people. Our righteousness rests alone on Christ the Lord. Therefore, how Christ is called our Righteousness in this matter of justification must be carefully considered. I mean, that our righteousness rest on one or the other nature in Christ, but on Christ's entire person, who as God and man is our Righteousness in His only, entire, and complete obedience.
~BOC, FSD, III, 55
