Secondly, touching his Priest-hood, vers. 5 he is said to love us, and wash us from our sins in his blood. For he is our only high Priest, which by his own blood hath once entered into the holy place, and obtained eternal redemption for us. He only it is,1 which through the eternal Spirit, offered himself without fault to God,2 to purge our consciences ⟨p. 18⟩from dead works to serve the living God. So then by virtue of his Priest-hood and sacrifice, we are reconciled unto God, have free access unto the throne of grace, and are made Priests in him to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through him. vers. 6 For he hath made us Kings and Priests unto God, even his Father.
