Hence being affected to God reconciled with greatest reverence, First, Christ in whom we are reconciled is most reverenced and adored, Psal. 130.4. and most closely cleaved to, Jer. 39.40. Secondly, His word most venerable and awful, Isai. 66.2. Psalm 119.16. Thirdly, Our own ability is distrusted and we walk in awful dependence on Christ in our whole service of God, Phil. 2.12, 13. Hebr. 12.28. Rom. 11.20. 1 Pet. 1.17, 18. Reverence arising from apprehension of his transcendent greatness, and goodness, we worship him, and endeavour to approve our selves to him, to be accepted of him.
