The Third excellent Property of that Redemption, §3that we have by Jesus Christ, is this, it is a full and plenteous Redemption, Psal. 130. 7. Let Israel hope in the Lord, for with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. Christ redeems us from all sin, and from all1 the consequences of sin; he redeems from death, and ⟨p. 105⟩from the power of the grave; he redeems us from the2 Law, and from the malediction of the Law: Christ took that off, he was made a curse for all that believe on him; he did not only stand in the room of eminent believers, but he stood in the room of all believers, and endured the wrath of God to the uttermost, for every one that believeth on him: Every believer is freed from a cursed estate, by the least faith; every degree of true faith makes the condition to be a state of life, and passeth us from death and condemnation; There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus: And Christ redeems us from this present3 evil world, and from the earth, and from among men, and from wrath to come, and from the hands of all our enemies. Jesus Christ hath gone thorough-stitch with the work of our Redemption; Christ does not his work by halves, all his works are perfect, there is no defect or flaw in them at all: Christ does not redeem us from some of our sins, and leave us to grapple with the rest; he doth not work out some part of our Redemption, and leave us to work out the rest; he doth not bear the heat and burden of divine wrath in part, and leave us to wrestle with other parts of divine wrath: O! no, Christ makes most complete work of it; he redeems us from all our iniquities, he delivers us out of the hands of all our enemies; he pays4 all debts, he cuts all scores, he delivers from all wrath, he takes off the whole curse, he saves to the uttermost, and will settle us in a state of full and perfect freedom, when grace shall be turned into glory; in heaven our Redemption shall be entire and and perfect.
