THE Design of this Epistle is to set forth the Free-Grace of God in Man's Salvation by Christ.
I. More generally, vers. 3. who hath blessed us with all Spiritual Blessings.
II. By a particular enumeration of those eternal Blessings which were decreed for us in Christ, viz. Election and Adoption, vers. 4, 5.
Having thus looked so far back before the foundation of the World, vers. 4. the Apostle sets down what Christ did in time for us in his own Person, when he took our Nature upon him, and entered into the Office of a Mediator, as our Head, completing our redemption in himself by dying for us, in whom we have redemption through his Blood, the forgiveness of Sins, vers. 7. Then follow the Blessings that we our selves, as Members of Christ, are Partakers of in this Life; and they are all comprehended in Faith, and in the certain consequents of it.
