Secondly, What Salvation may sinners have by Jesus Christ? I answer, 1. Sinners may be saved from their sins by Jesus Christ, Matth. 1.21. For HE shall save his People from their sins. It is a very great mercy to be saved from our sins. This Salvation is not by any other, Act. 4.12. There are three things in sin, from which Christ saveth sinners, viz. First, the dominion of sin. It was David's prayer, Psal. 19.13. Psalm. 119.133. Let not any iniquity have dominion over me; and Christ's promise, Rom 6.14. Sin shall not have dominion over you; because ye are not under the Law, but ⟨p. 8⟩under Grace. There is a Reigning power in sin, Rom. 6.12. Let not sin therefore Reign in your mortal body, &c. Also Rom. 5.21. which Christ subdueth, Mich. 7.19. He will subdue our iniquities, and destroyeth, Rom. 6.6. Secondly, The captivating power of sin. This the Apostle sadly experienced, Rom. 7.23, 24. I see another law in my members, warring against the Law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the Law of sin, which is in my members. But yet he blessed God for Jesus Christ, vers. 25. through whom he had deliverance, Rom. 8.2. The Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the Law of Sin and Death. Thirdly, The guilt, curse and condemnation of sin, Jam. 2.10.— And offend in one point, is guilty of all. Gal. 3.18
