CHAP. XX.
The Divine Power is admirably glorified in the Creation of the World, in respect of the greatness of the effect, and the manner of its production. Tis as evident in our Redemption. The Principal Effects of it are considered. The Incarnation of the Son of God is a work fully responsible to Omnipotence. Our Redeemers Supernatural Conception by the Holy Ghost. The Divine Power was eminently declared in the Miracles Jesus Christ wrought in the course of his Ministry. His Miracles were the evidence of His Celestial Calling, they were necessary for the conviction of the World: their Nature considered. The Divine Power was Glorified in making the Death of Christ Victorious over all our Spiritual Enemies. The Resurrection of Christ the effect of Glorious Power. The Reasons of it from the quality of his Person, and the nature of his Office, that he might dispense the Blessings he had purchased for Believers. His Resurrection is the foundation of Faith. It hath a threefold reference, to his Person as the Son of God, to his Death as an All sufficient Sacrifice, to his Promise of raising Believers at the last day.
