Christ inviting sinners to come to him for rest

Adam had grace from God as the creator, it is not for us to pray to God for grace as creator of all things, but we must seek God in Christ, and see how the fullness of all the Godhead dwells bodily in him, and so we come to have strength against our corruptions.

Adam had grace from God as the creator, it is not for us to pray to God for grace as creator of al things, but we must seeke God in Christ, and see how the fulness of al the Godhead dwels bodily in him, and so we come to have strength against our corruptions.

I remember a German Divine writing to his friend, professeth that before he understood the way of the Gospel, he had vowed and covenanted a thousand times against some sins, and could never overcome them, but after the Lord revealed to him the way of the Gospel, that all strength comes in by exercising faith in Christ, and seeing the father giving his son to supply all grace, and exercising faith in the Covenant of grace, he found strength against his corruptions, so that he was able very comfortably to walk with God in the ways of holiness. ⟨p. 335⟩So Christians that understand the way the Gospel will find abundance of power against their corruptions, more then they did with all their striving and pains taking before; though we should strive and take all pains we can, yet we must know that this will not do it, without the exercise of faith in Christ, for the helping of us against our corruptions.
