Object. III. In the Gospel there are promises of life, upon condition of our obedience. Rom. 8. 13. If by the spirit ye mortify the deeds of the flesh, ye shall live. 1. Joh. 1. 9. If we confess our §15sins, God is faithful to forgive them. Ans. The promises of the Gospel are not made to the work, but to the worker: and to the worker not for his work: but for Christs sake, according to his work. As for example: promise of life is made not to the §20work of mortification, but to him that mortifieth his flesh, and that not for his mortification, but because he is in Christ, and his mortification is the token or evidence thereof. And therefore it must be remembered, that all promises of the Gospel that mention works, include in them Reconciliation with God in Christ.
