Doct. The greatest Manifestation of God's Love to the Sons of Men, is the giving his only begotten Son to be their Redeemer and Saviour.
There is a twofold giving of Christ.
1. He is given for us. 2. He is given to us.
1. He was given for us, when he was sent into the World to become Bone of our Bone, and Flesh of our Flesh, and to die for our Sins. This is spoken of, Rom. 8. 32. God spared not his Son, but delivered him up for us all.
2. He is given to us, when we have a special Interest in him, and a Participation of his Benefits. 1 Cor. 1. 30. Christ Jesus is made of God to us Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption.
