A. Concerning the Work of God by Jesus Christ for the saving of Sinners, I have learned that it consisteth in God's making by Jesus Christ a way for Sinners to come to Repentance, and thereby to the forgiveness of their Sins, and acceptance with him, and in calling them to Repentance by Jesus Christ, for the pardon of their Sins, ⟨p. 97⟩and acceptance with him. 2 Cor. 5.18, 19. Luk. 1.79.
Q. How has God made by Jesus Christ this way for Sinners?
A. God hath made this way for Sinners; first, By the Death of his Son, who by his Death is made a Propitiation for the Sins of the World, and has opened a way for the coming of the Word of Reconciliation to them. Rom. 5.8, 10. Ephes. 2.13, &c. 1 Joh. 4.10. & 2.2. Gal. 3.13. Mat. 26.28.
