3. The excellent benefits which God reconciled bestows upon us, are the effects and evidences of the completeness of Christs Satisfaction. And these are pardon of Sin, Grace, and Glory. The Apostle tells us that the Law made nothing perfect: all its Sacrifices and Ceremonies could not expiate the guilt,1 nor cleanse the stain of sin, nor open Heaven for us: which three are requisite to our perfection. But Christ by one Offering hath perfected for ever them that are Sanctified. 2By him we obtain full Justification, Renovation and Communion with God: therefore his Sacrifice, the Meritorious cause of procuring them, must be perfect.
