And our Necessities are principally in these three points. 1. We have the Guilt of sin upon us to be pardoned, and the Wrath of God, and Curse of the Law, and the punishment of sin to be removed. 2. We have the Corruption of our Nature to be healed; the power of sin to be destroyed; the Image of God repaired on us; and our hearts, and lives to be acted, and ordered according to the Will of God; and to these ends, Temptations to be conquered; and our Souls, directed, strengthened, and preserved to the end. 3. We must be raised from the Grave at the last day; we must be Justified in Judgment, and possessed of that Glory which is the End of our Faith. To this Justification, Sanctification, and Glorification may the rest be reduced.
