Fourthly, His testament is the evidence of love, beloved, it is impossible for me to utter, or you to conceive the riches of Christs love expressed to you in his testament, his Covenant: herein, Christian, thou mightest read the strange love of Christ to thee, in that he hath given thee his testament, and delivered it to thee as his act and deed, sealed with his own blood. O how much did David make of this? It was the last words of that sweet singer of Israel. Although my house be not so with God, yet be hath made with me an everlasting Covenant, ordered in all things and sure and this is all my salvation and all my desire, 2 Sam. 23. He had all that heart could wish for in this Covenant. ⟨p. 212⟩O Christian, hath Christ given thee his covenant? O make much of this covenant, 'tis a sweet token indeed. O the great privileges and sweet immunities that are conveyed to believers here! freedom from sin; from the guilt and power of sin. Freedom from misery; from the wrath of God, the curse of the law, from the sting of death, from the evil of the world, from the danger of hell. And beside all this, what legacies hath he given thee in the covenant? God for thy Father, himself for thy Saviour, his spirit for thy comforter and sanctifier, his Ministers for thy teachers, his ordinances for thy furtherance in grace: there he hath given thee thy adoption and assurance for heaven. Do but look over this, and say if thou canst, that Christ hath not loved thee.
