Now, I say, that God should give the Holy Ghost to Jesus, to confirm this Gospel, Redemption from sin by his Blood; what is it, but that by his Blood he hath paid full price to God for Sinners, and obtained Eternal Redemption for them?
But again, the Benefit which we receive at the Coming of the Holy Ghost, doth more demonstrate this Truth; hath Christ purchased Sinners, and are they the Price of his Blood? Yes. But how doth that appear? Why, because by the Holy Ghost which he hath received to give us, we are fitted for the Inheritance which by his Blood is prepared for us.
1. By the Spirit of God we are quickened, and raised from a state of Sin, but that we could not be, were it not that an Atonement is made for us; first, by the Blood of Christ our Saviour. This is true; for they that are quickened by the Holy Ghost, are quickened by it through the Word of the Gospel which offereth Justification to Sinners through Faith in his Blood: yea, we are said to be quickened together with him, dead and risen with him: yet so as by the Spirit of God.
