When sinners are justified . . . two (organically linked) liberations wash into their life. The first and more obvious liberation is moral. The second liberation is emotional and psychological.
To be sure, these are two interlocking facets of a single gift. Yet it is easy to embrace the former and neglect the latter, as my own heart has been discovering over the past 22 months (under the tutelage of Martin Luther, Herman Bavinck, G. C. Berkouwer, and Paul Zahl).
