This point winds up in encouragement to every willing and obedient soul whom the Lord shall persuade to comply with the Call of the Gospel, whatever his former Rebellions have been. There are some whose hearts the Lord hath touched with a deep sense of their sin and misery, and of the all-sufficient remedy that is in Christ; but the sense of former rebellions appals and daunts them, they cannot hope for acceptance with him. Here's good news for such souls; Christ is at the door, and former Rebellions are no bar to him, provided there be now a hearty compliance with his voice, I will come in to him. A glorious promise, comprising five inestimable benefits or mercies in ⟨p. 275⟩it. (1.) This is the most glorious work of God that ever was wrought, or can be wrought in this world, upon the heart of a poor sinner, to open it by Repentance and Faith, and put Christ into the full possession of it.
