6. How long will it be till all the curse be taken off the Believers, and Redemption have attained its full effect?
6. How long will it be till all the curse be taken off the Beleevers, and Redemption have attained its full effect?
To the first Question I answer:
In this case the undertaking of satisfaction had the same immediate effect upon Adam, as the satisfaction it self upon us, or for us: To determine what these are, were an excellent work; it being one of the greatest and noblest questions in our controverted Divinity, What are the immediate effects of Christs Death? He that can rightly answer this, is a Divine indeed; and by the help of this, may expedite most other controversies about Redemption and Justification. In a word, The effects of Redemption undertaken, could not be upon a subject not yet existent, and so no subject, though it might be for them: None but Adam and Eve were then existent. Yet as soon as we do exist, we receive benefit from it. The suspending of the rigorous execution of the sentence of the Law, is the most observable immediate effect of Christs death; which suspension is some kind of deliverance from it. Of the other effects elsewhere.
