Of Healing, the fruit of Pardoning Mercy.
5. Where God pardons sin, he heals that soul and sanctifies it by the immediate fruits of the Spirit, wheresoever it is, and this is a ⟨p. 44⟩great blessedness; who is there that understands the evil of sin that sees not this a great blessedness, not only to be delivered from the guilt of sin, but also from the uncleanness of sin too; and that Sanctification or freedom from the power and slavery that there is under the bondage of sin is a fruit of forgiveness of sin will appear by divers Texts of Scripture. I shall not speak to all, but only some that make this blessing to be the consequence or immediate fruits that slow in upon forgiveness, Jer. 31.33, 34 there God promises to put his law into our inward parts: But what's the ground of it? in the 34. verse, I will forgive their iniquities and remember their sins no more; the writing of Gods Law in our inward parts, delivering us from the power of sin, and sanctifying our hearts comes in as a fruit of Gods forgiving us our iniquities, Rom. 6.14. Sin shall not have dominion over you; why? because you are not under the Law, but under Grace: Now this is the great grace of the Gospel, forgiveness of sin, you are under that, and therefore it is that sin cannot have dominion over you; as if the Apostle had said, you may resolve against sin, and do what you can to oppose it, and strive as much as possible you are able to subdue it; yet so long as you remain under the law, sin will certainly have dominion over you, and you will be under the slavery of it, until you come under the grace of the Gospel, and partake of that, Col. 2.13. ult. And you hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; so that quickening and Sanctification is a fruit of forgiving of all their trespasses,
