§. 132. Christ the means of bringing all good to man.
4. The relative ME hath reference to Christ: For it is Christ that saith, Behold I, &c. God being to make choice of a peculiar people that they might be vessels of mercy and glory, commended them to his Son, to be fitted and so brought thereunto. Where it is said God loved the world, it is added, he gave his only begotten Son, &c. John 3. 16. All the blessings whereof we are made partakers, are conferred upon us in and with Christ. We are chosen in Christ, made accepted i• him, we have redemption in him, (Eph. 1. 4, 6, 7.) we are reconciled to God by hi• (Col. 1. 20, 21.) Justified by his blood, (Rom. 5. 9.) Called by him (1 Pet. 5. 10.) Sanctified in him (1 Cor. 1. 2.) Saved through him, Rom. 5. 9, 10. This course […] bringing men to glory by Christ, doth very much amplify Divine mercy, and sundry other Divine properties, as hath been showed, §. 87, 88.
