Of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption. Observe Christians!
In Christ Jesus: there's the Union, and thence flows Communion, and Fellowship with him in all his privileges, Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption. Here you have the very Epitome, and summa totalis of the Gospel; 1the whole Christ in four words; the benefit, and fruit of all his Offices, suitable and sufficient to supply all the defects and indigences of the Creature: For behold! here is Wisdom for our Folly; Righteousness for our guilt; Sanctification for our impure natures, and Redemption for our ⟨p. 31⟩(every way) lost and undone condition: wisdom to make us wise to salvation, there is the fruit of his prophetical Office; they shall all know me, Jerem. 31.34. Righteousness for our justification; 2Christ is the end (or complement) of the Law for Righteousness to every one that believeth*, there is the fruit of his Priestly Office; Sanctification, to begin holiness where it is wanting, and to increase it where it is begun, (Christ is a Fountain of holiness, as well as a Fountain of happiness) there is the fruit of his Kingly Office; he sets up his Kingdom in the Soul, Rom. 14.17. Redemption, fully, and finally to deliver us from the pour of darkness, from wrath to come, from all the remainders of sin, and misery; and to translate us into the Kingdom of Grace and Glory; there is the joint-fruit of all his Offices.
