What comfort can we have in the Merits, Death, and Blood of Christ? what comfort, in the Promises of the Gospel, till we know we are Believers? such to whom Christ and the Promises belong?
What comfort can wee have in the Merits, Death, and Blood of Christ? what comfort, in the Promises of the Gospel, till wee know wee are Beleevers? such to whom Christ and the Promises belong?
If a man did but once clear this. How might he run down all the Promises, and fetch in comfort from them all? why, (might the soul say) Christ is mine: his Blood is mine: his Spirit is mine: his Merits are mine: his Righteousness is mine, to justify me. His Holiness is mine, to sanctify me. His Mercy is mine to save me. All is mine; if I be a Believer.
If a man did but once clear this. How might hee run down all the Promises, and fetch in comfort from them all? why, (might the soul say) Christ is mine: his Blood is mine: his Spirit is mine: his Merits are mine: his Righteousness is mine, to justifie mee. His Holiness is mine, to sanctifie mee. His Mercy is mine to save mee. All is mine; if I bee a Beleever.
Oh! Thou dost not know what wrong thou dost to thy soul, in neglecting to clear and evidence this to thy self.
