Whatever hindrances and difficulties lye in the way of the salvation of Believers, whatever oppositions do rise against it, the Lord Christ is able by virtue of his Sacerdotal Office, and in the exercise of it, to carry the work through them all unto eternal perfection.
Whatever hindrances and difficulties lye in the way of the salvation of Believers, whatever oppositions do rise against it, the Lord Christ is able by vertue of his Sacerdotal Office, and in the exercise of it, to carry the work through them all unto eternal perfection.
In the Assertion of the Ability of Christ in this matter, there is a Supposition of a work whereunto great Power and efficacy is required; and whereas it is emphatically affirmed, that he is able to save unto the uttermost, it is supposed that great Oppositions and difficulties do lye in the way of its accomplishment. But these things are commonly spoken unto by our Practical Divines, and I shall not therefore insist upon them.
The whole is farther declared by instancing in those who are to be saved or made Partakers of this Salvation. He is able to save to the uttermost, but yet all are not to be saved by him; Yea, they are but few that are so. Of the most it may be said, They will not come unto him that they may have life. Wherefore those whom he is thus able to save and doth save accordingly, are all those and only those, who come unto God by him.
