¶ We have Communion with Christ in Glory, Rom. 8.17, 18. If so be we suffer with him, that we may be glorified together: Who shall change our vile Body, and fashion it like to his glorious Body. So Joh. 17.21, 22, 23, 24.
¶ In all good things, Wisdom, Righteousness, Redemption, Faith,1 Repentance, Regeneration, Adoption, Justification, Sanctification, and Spiritual Liberty. All these are Benefits, and high blessings communicated from the Father, by the Spirit, through the Purchase and Merit of Jesus Christ. See that place, it is very Pregnant, (2 Cor. 5.17.) and apposite. 1. He tells you, We know Christ no more after the Flesh: Because that Dispensation is over, we are now under the dispensation of the Spirit. 2. Therefore, If any man be in Christ, he is a new Creature. 3. Our Communion with Christ is not hereby lost, but advanced Higher; if any be in Christ, he is a new Creature: In Christ still, and a New Creature by Christs Spirit working in us all new things, and working out all old. 4. All this is the Work of God in us, and for us, by the Son reconciling us, and the Spirit perfecting us in the Ministry of Reconciliation, ver. 18, 19.5. All this arose from Love, ver. 14. the Root of the Communion of Saints with the Blessed Trinity. 6. As ye have heard, founded in Union, expressed in a Communication of all good things by Christ, our Head and Husband, with Reciprocation and returns of Love on our part, in all the Acts of it, by entire and Sincere Obedience; also in mutual Interchanges of Duties, respecting our fellow-members of the same Body: This is so fully set forth by the Apostle Paul, according to the Grace of God given to him, that I need say no more about it, but commend the reading of that whole Chapter to you, 1 Cor. ⟨p. 142⟩
