- 1Sermon 16.
EPHES. 1. 7. 1In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace.
- 1Text. Enforcing the general exhortation by a seventh motive drawn from the first benefit purchased by Christ.
Six great Motives have been presented already from the Titles of Christ, to draw the hearts of sinners to him: more are now to be offered from the benefits redounding to Believers by Christ. Essaying by all means to win the hearts of men to Christ. To this end I shall in the first place open that glorious privilege of Gospel remission; freely and fully conferred upon all that come to Christ by faith, in whom we have redemption by faith, &c.
