"…God wants us to find our primary joy in our objectively declared justification, not in our subjectively perceived sanctification. Regardless of how much progress we make in our pursuit of holiness, it will never come close to the absolute perfect righteousness of Christ that is ours through our union with Him in His life and death."

“The Discomfort of the Justified Life,” quoted in Justified: Modern Reformation Essays on the Doctrine of Justification, p. 94
