Fifthly, That God hath also engaged his veracity and faithfulness in the Sanction of the Law not to leave sin unpunished, Gen. 2. 17. In the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely dye. Deut. 27. 26. Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this Law to do them. In this state and condition ⟨p. 156⟩all mankind had they been left without divine aid and help, must have perished Eternally.
Sixthly, That God out of his infinite Goodness, Grace and Love to mankind, sent his only Son to save and deliver them out of this condition, Matth. 1. 21. Thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his People from their sins, John 3. 16, 17. God so loved the world, that be gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life: for God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. Rom. 5. 8. God commendeth his love towards us, in that while we were ye• sinners Christ dyed for us, 1 John 4. 9. In this was manifested the love of God towards us, because God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him, v. 10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his▪ Son to be a propitiation for our sins, 1. Thes. 1. 10. ⟨p. 157⟩
