The Fountain of Life Opened

Secondly, All Spiritual good things are purchased by the blood of Christ for them. As justification which comprises remission of sins, and acceptation of our persons by God. Rom. 3.24. Being Justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ. Sanctification is also purchased for them. Yea, ⟨p. 184⟩both initial and progressive sanctification. For of God he is made unto us not only wisdom and righteousness, but sanctification also. 1 Cor. 1.30. These two, viz. our Justification and Sanctification, are two of the most rich and shining robes in the wardrobe of free-grace. How glorious and lovely do they render the soul that wears them! These are like the Bracelets and Jewels Isaac sent to Rebecca. Adoption into the family of God is purchased for us by this blood. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Jesus Christ, Gal 3.26. Christ as he is the Son, is haeres natus, the heir by nature: as he is Mediator, he is haeres constitutus, the heir by appointment: appointed heir of all things; as it is Heb. 1.2. By this Sonship of Christ, we being united to him by faith, become Sons; and if Sons, then heirs. O what a manner of love is▪ this, that we should be called the Sons of God? 1 Joh. 3.1. That a poor beggar should be made an heir, yea, an heir of God, and a joint heir with Christ. Yea, that very faith, which is the bond of union, and consequently the ground of all our communion with Christ, is the purchase of his blood also. 2 Pet. 1.1. To them that have obtained like precious faith with us, through the righteousness of God, and our Saviour Jesus Christ. This most precious grace is the dear purchase of our Lord Jesus Christ. Yea, all that peace, joy, and spiritual comfort, which are sweet fruits of faith, are with it purchased for us by this blood.
