Hence our Reconciliation with God is very free, it is a work of free grace; it is reconciling himself in Christ; it is not reconciling himself to us: for what we do our selves, or for what we can do; No, there is nothing that we do, or can do, nothing that Angels do or can do for us, that can reconcile us unto God, but we are reconciled unto God in Christ; therefore the work of Reconciliation of us is nothing but free grace, we do not contribute any thing at all unto this great work, it is all done in Christ; it is altogether free. If ⟨p. 93⟩there be anything required of us, yet it must be God and Christ that must work it; all, every thing of our Reconciliation (whatsoever particular there is in it) it is all in Christ, and therefore altogether free Grace towards us; Christ is the gift of God, and every thing that is indeed in him, and by him, is a free gift to us. That is the Second thing that may be said of this Reconciliation, that it is free.
