Sermons preached

(2.) Till we believe in Christ, we can have no Comfort or Use of all his Offices. How can we learn of him the Way of Salvation, till we believe him to be the Prophet sent of God, to teach the World the Way to true Happiness? Mat. 17. 5. This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. How can we obey him, unless we believe in him, that he is our Lord, who hath power over all Flesh, at whose Judgment we must stand or fall? Acts 17. 30, 31. Now commandeth all Men every where to repent, because he hath appointed a Day in which he will judge the World in Righteousness, by that Man whom he hath ordained, whereof he hath given assurance unto all Men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. How can we depend upon the Merit of his Obedience and Sacrifice, and be comforted with his gracious Promises and Covenant, and come to God with boldness and Hope of Mercy in his Name, and be confident that he will justify, sanctify, and save us, unless we believe that he is a Priest, who once made an Atonement, and continually makes Intercession for us? Heb. 9. 25. In the days of his Flesh, when any came for any Benefit to him, he put him upon his Trial, Believest thou that I am able to do this? Mark 9 23. Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Believest thou that I am able? to Martha, Joh. 11. 26. Thus they were not capable of any Benefit, till they believed.
