The Object of this action is described in these words [him that sent me] which is a description of God the Father, and implies a relation between the Father and the Son: as if he had said, In him of whom I am, who hath given me unto the World, &c.

Doct. God as he is the Father of Christ Jesus, is the only object of our Faith; and therefore he saith not [and believeth in God] simply, but in him that sent me. And therefore we must come unto God in Christ, and do whatsoever we do in, and through him: Heb. 13.15.
Doct. God as he is the Father of Christ Iesus, is the onely obiect of our Faith; and therefore he saith not [and beleeueth in God] simply, but in him that sent me. And therefore wee must come vnto God in Christ, and doe whatsoeuer we doe in, and through him: Heb. 13.15.
No creature can be the object of our Faith, on which we may rest, because it is not able to protect us from Gods wrath. Neither is God himself, as he hath immediately to do with us, for so he is most strict in justice, and as a consuming fire, before which we are but stubble. Only as he is well pleased in Christ, and in him manifesteth his grace and favour, may approach unto him with confidence.
No creature can bee the obiect of our Faith, on which wee may rest, because it is not able to protect vs from Gods wrath. Neither is God himselfe, as he hath immediately to doe with vs, for so he is most strict in iustice, and as a consuming fire, before which we are but stubble. Onely as he is well pleased in Christ, and in him manifesteth his grace and fauour, may approach vnto him with confidence.
