This Gospel-Liberty is not a Liberty to sin; nor may this Liberty be used for an occasion to the flesh, Gal. 5.13. ⟨p. 30⟩but it is a freedom from sin, Rom. 6.18, 22. in respect of the condemnation due thereunto, Rom. 8.1. There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus; and in respect of the dominion thereof, Rom. 6.14. Sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the Law, but under Grace.
Thirdly, God shows the Convinced Sinner in the Glass of the Gospel, his need of Christ, and acquaints him with an indispensable Necessity of accepting Christ upon Gospel-terms of Free-Grace, Without money, and without price, Isa. 55.1, 2, 3. & Rev. 22.17. God doth by his Spirit and Word inform the Sinner, that the Lord Jesus Christ alone is the only Saviour of Sinners, Act. 4.12. Neither is there Salvation in any other. And hereby the poor lost sinful Sinner sees his need of Christ to justify him, and pardon all his sins; also to sanctify him, and save him from his sins, and the wrath of God due unto him for his sins; and to save him with an everlasting salvation.
