Q. You said, That God hath promised to give Eternal Life in or by Jesus Christ, What mean you by this?
A. God giveth Eternal Life in or by Jesus, in that Jesus Christ is the ⟨p. 78⟩Mediator between God and Men, in God's giving of Eternal Life unto them.
[Rom. 6.23. Eternal Life is the Gift of God through [in or by] Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Joh. 5.11. This is the Record, That God hath given us Eternal Life, and this Life is in his Son. 1 Tim. 2.4, 5, &c. Who (to wit, God our Saviour) will have all Men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge [acknowledgement] of the Truth: For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and Men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave himself a Ransom for all, &c. Joh. 14.6. Jesus faith unto him, I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no Man cometh unto the Father but by me.]
