Through Him] Through Christ we have access by one Spirit unto the Father; and now (saith he) Ye that were strangers and foreigners, are made fellow Citizens with the Saints, and of the household of God. And vers. 13. But now by Jesus Christ, ye who sometimes were afar off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ, and you have access through Christ. So, our coming nigh to God is such a privilege as cost the Blood of Christ; And will not you improve it? You were far off in your natural condition, but now you are nigh through his Blood. Lay but this Text warm to your hearts this morning, That I that was far off, am made nigh by the Blood of Christ, made nigh to God; it will be a means for ever to draw your hearts to all those ways whereby you may draw nearest to God.

And by drawing nigh to God often, you will come to increase your graces abundantly: your graces, how will they act? the presence of God will draw forth the acts of grace, as the presence of the fire draws forth our heat, so the presence of God will draw forth our graces.
