1. The Eternal life of God in his Divine Nature; This he liveth in himself. As the Father hath life in himself, so hath he given unto the son to have life in himself, Joh. 5 26. He hath given it him by eternal Generation, in a communication unto him of all the divine Properties. And he that hath life in himself, a life independent on any other, he is the living one, the living God. No creature can have life in himself. For in God we live, move, and have our being. He is hereby Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the Beginning and end of all, Revel. 1. 11. because he is [Greek or Hebrew], the living one, ver. 18. And this Life of Christ is the foundation of the efficacy of all his Mediatory Actings, namely, that he was in his own divine Person the Living God, Act. 20. 28. 1 Cor. 2. 8. 1 Joh. 3. 16. But this is not the immediate cause of his Mediatory Effects, nor is it here intended.
