Theodoret of Cyrus: Solus Christus

I mean, you were given up to wickedness and impiety and utterly deprived of the light of the knowledge of God, but you have become related to God. It was not the Law who gave this gift to you; rather, Christ the Lord paid your debt so that you were thought worthy of the calling and rendered holy and free of every stain.
