We justify Christ,1 when from an inward work of the Spirit we feel and acknowledge him to be such an one as he is;2 Christ is God.1 Now, when we rely upon him as our Rock, in all temptations, we justify Christ to be so: when we kiss the Son with the kisses of faith, of subjection, of obedience, of reverence and love; this is to justify Christ to be the Son of God, as it is Psal. 2.4 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry. Those that in temptation are to seek for their comfort, they do not justify Christ, they do not live as if he were a Saviour, not as if he were a God; in temptations to despair, they justify not Christ.
