First, There is a great deal of free grace in this, that God should ordain us to eternal life and salvation. 2 Tim. 1.9. Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, ⟨p. 65⟩but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus, before the world began. Again
Secondly, (To name them) Is it not great grace, mercy, and favour that God should send his own Son from Heaven to dye for us, and to purchase our salvation, yet so he did. Ye are bought with a price, what price? the blood of Jesus Christ, who gave himself a ransom for you, 1 Tim. 2.6.
Secondly, (To name them) Is it not great grace, mercy, and favour that God should send his own Son from Heaven to dye for us, and to purchase our salvation, yet so he did. Ye are bought with a price, what price? the blood of Jesus Christ, who gave himself a ransome for you, 1 Tim. 2.6.
Thirdly, Is it not a great mercy, a very great favour, that we that had broken the first Covenant, and had not performed the conditions of it, that we should be set up again as I may say; That God should set us up again, under another Covenant, that runs without any condition; and yet so he did, Heb. 8.10. For this is the Covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days saith the Lord, I will put my Law into their mind and write them in their heart, and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.
