Many and great benefits come to the Church of God by the Intercession of Christ Jesus. 1. Hereby the faithful are assured of protection and defence against the continual temptations, assaults and accusations of all their spiritual enemies, Satan and the world. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh Intercession for us, Rom. 8. 34. I pray that thou wouldest keep them from evil, Joh. 17 15.
