1. Because Christ would otherwise be in vain, he would not be of that use and improvement God hath appointed him for; If the child will not suck, the breasts are filled in vain; If the Prodigal will not eat, the fatted Calf is in vain provided; The Fountain runneth in vain if none will drink of it; Oh then consider this, if I do not by faith thus receive Christ, I do as much as lieth in me, make Christ of none effect; I do as much as lieth in me make as if there had never been such a person as Christ; If then the Apostle makes those false Teachers in such a dangerous estate, that by corrupt opinions did make Christ to die in vain, and his Cross of none effect, no less provoking must thy sin of unbelief be, It takes Christ out of the world.
