Thirdly, When Christ is said to be a Propitiation for our sins, it implies, that he hath procured the manifestation of Gods favour to us, for suppose a Friend make satisfaction for another, and reconcilement with another with whom he is fallen out, yet if he know it not, his heart is as loose as ever, but Christ hath not only procured us Gods favour, but he tells us, his Father is reconciled with us, and at peace with us, Job. 33.23. and 26. there is the effect of Christs propitiation, that we shall see Gods face with joy, we shall pray to him with comfort, Joh. 14.21. He that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, &c. which shows, that he will bring rhem together, and there shall be a mutual expression of love to one another, and refreshment in one another, God shall take comfort in us, and we in him, Rev. 3.20. for that Christ goes further in this case than any man can.
