Rom. 3.19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24. Tit. 3.3, 4, 5. From this state they had deliverance by Faith in Christ Jesus. For unto as many as received him, power is given to be the sons of God. Joh. 1.12. He that believeth on him, is not condemned, that is, he is saved, in the sense of the Apostle in this place. Joh. 3.15. He that believeth on the Son of God hath everlasting life, (is saved) but he that believeth not, the wrath of God abideth on him. Ver. 36. And in this sense, saved, and Salvation, are frequently used in the Scripture. Besides he gives us so full a description of the Salvation, which he intends from Ver. 13. ⟨p. 521⟩unto the end of the Chapter, that there can be no doubt of it. It is our being made nigh by the Blood of Christ, Ver. 13. Our Peace with God by his death, Ver. 14, 15. Our Reconciliation by the Blood of the Cross, Ver. 16. Our access unto God, and all Spiritual privileges thereon depending, Ver. 18, 19, 20, &c.
