To Conclude, If this be so, as ever you expect pardon and 1mercy from God, come to Christ in the way of faith; receive and embrace him now in the tenders of the Gospel.
- 1Inference 5.
To drive home this great Exhortation, I beseech you, as in the bowels of Christ Jesus, and by all the regard and value you have for your own souls, let these following Considerations sink down into your hearts.
First, That all Christless persons are actually under the condemnation of God, John 3. 18. He that believeth not is condemned already: and it must needs be so, for every soul is concluded under the curse of the Law, till Christ make him free, John 8. 36. Till we are in Christ, we are dead by Law, and when we believe unto justification, then we pass from death to life. A blind mistaken Conscience may possibly acquit you, but assure your selves God condemns you.
