3. Moreover, God is obliged, upon the account of his Covenant with his Son for us, to discharge us for ever, because Christ hath fully performed all things as the federal Conditions of our ⟨p. 245⟩Restoration and Deliverance from Sin, and the Curse of the Law, which he covenanted to do.
Arg. 5. All that are delivered from the Curse of the Law, and to whom there remains no more any legal and just Cause in God of Wrath and Separation from him unto their Eternal Condemnation, cannot eternally perish. But all that believe in Christ are delivered from the Curse of the Law, and to them there remains no more any legal and just Cause in God of Wrath and Separation from him unto their eternal Condemnation: therefore no Believer shall eternally perish.
Fifthly, Christ dying for our Sins, was a full and complete Payment 1of all our Debts, which bound us over to Death and Condemnation; we owed ten thousand Talents, and Christ our Surety was charged with it, even with all we owed to Justice; and by his Death he paid the uttermost Farthing: Now the Principal and the Surety are legally and judicially one Person; so that in Christ we paid all, though it was God and not we that found out the Surety, and paid himself with his own Money; and therefore we are acquitted in a way of Sovereign Grace; we have it in a way of Mercy, though in a way of Righteousness also: That 2God might be Just, and the Justifier of him that believeth in Jesus.
