And then the life of sanctification, that is now in part, shall then be perfect, and likewise the peace that now passeth understanding, shall then be full, and our joy shall be full by Christ who is our life:
And then the life of sanctification, that is now in part, shall then be perfect, and likewise the peace that now passeth understanding, shall then bee full, and our joy shall bee full by Christ who is our life:
So then we see we have in Christ the second Adam, whatsoever we lost in the first root. Whence did we draw sin, and misery? by union with the first Adam, we have damnation, we have the wrath of God, we have corruption opposite to sanctification, we have terrors, and horror of conscience. By the second Adam and union with him we have a spring of life, and peace, and all that we lost in Adam, and more then all we lost, he being God-man. The sin of the first Adam was the sin of a man: the obedience of the second Adam, was the obedience of God-man, which raiseth us to life everlasting. Rom. 5. So that there is more comfort in the life we have by Christ, then there is discomfort in our death by Adam.
