(3.) Providence is blessed. The Curse is taken out of our Blessings, and the Sting out of our Afflictions. As long as Sin remains unpardoned, our Blessings are cursed; Mal. 2. 2. If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart to give glory to my Name, saith the Lord of Hosts, I will even send a Curse upon you, and I will curse your Blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ⟨p. 405⟩ye do not lay it to heart: There will be a Worm in our Manna, our Table will become a Snare, Psal. 69. 22. But when once Sin is pardoned, the Sting of Misery is taken away: 1 Cor. 15. 56. The Sting of Death is Sin, and the strength of Sin is the Law: But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ. Crosses are not Curses.
