Love to Christ, necessary to escape the curse at his coming

But the Excommunication of all the Non-Lovers of Christ, will be inconceivably more terrible, when the Lord himself shall come with Millions of his Holy Angels, and with Ten Thousands, yea Thousands of thousands of his Saints, and the Trumpet sounding, the Saints singing, and the Air ringing, Christ and all shall say, Now cursed for ever be every man that did not love the Lord Jesus: Let them never come into the Kingdom of Heaven, nor have a share in the Happiness that God hath prepared for them that love him; and all the Saints and Angels shall say, Amen, Amen.

There is another Text, setting forth the contrary good condition of those that love Christ, Ephes. 6.24. Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity, Amen. Paul standing one while upon Mount Ebal, denounceth a Curse against those that do not love the Lord Jesus; another while upon Mount Gerizzim, pronouncing a Blessing upon them that do.

Deut. 27.11. And Moses charged the people the same day, saying, 12. These shall stand upon Mount Gerizzim to bless the people, when ye are come over Jordan, Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin. 13. And these shall stand upon ⟨p. 8⟩Mount Ebal to curse, Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. 14. And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice, 15. Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination to the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsmen, and putteth it in a secret place, and all the people shall answer and say, Amen. 16. Cursed be he that setteth light by his father, or his mother, and all the people shall say, Amen. 17. Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's land-mark; and all the people shall say, Amen. 18 Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way; and all the people shall say, Amen. 19. Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow; and all the people shall say, Amen. Six Tribes stood upon Mount Gerizzim, and six upon Mount Ebal, and in a little Valley between these two Mountains, the Priests stood, one while pronouncing a Blessing upon the Observers of the Law; and then the Tribes upon Mount Gerizzim sounded out Amen: Another while denouncing Curses against the Transgressors of the Law; then the Tribes upon Mount Ebal founded out Amen.
