Q. 8. But if a man reform his life, and live soberly and justly for time to come, may he not that way escape Gods Wrath and Curse?
A. No, Sobriety and Reformation are Duties, but it's Faith and Regeneration that puts men into Christ, and out of danger, Matth. 5.20. —Except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Titus 3.5. Not by works of righteousness, which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.
Q. 9. Do all believing and penitent Sinners escape Gods Wrath and Curse?
A. Yes, they do, and shall for ever escape it, Rom. 8.1. There is therefore now no condemnation to them, which are in Christ Jesus, &c.
