Whatsoever good will the Father hath to us, it is as we are in Christ.
1And why in Christ?
- 1Why God• love to us is in Christ.
Because Christ is the first thing that God can love, he is the only begotten Son of God, whosoever is loved to glory in a spiritual order, is loved in the first beloved: Christ is loved of God, as the character of his own image: the Son represents the Father, he is loved of God, as Mediator by office, so God looks upon us in Christ, as the Son of his love, so he is called by Saint Paul, Coloss. 1.1
