1. All Those wherein the Love and Grace of God are proposed as the only Cause of giving Jesus Christ to be the way and means of our Recovery and Salvation, whence they become, or God in them, the supreme Efficient Cause of our Justification, Joh. 3.16. God so loved the World that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have Everlasting Life, So Rom. 5.8. 1 Joh. 4.9, 10. Being justified freely by his Grace, through the Redemption that is in Christ, Rom. 3.23. Ephes. 1.6, 7, 8. This the Lord Christ directs our Faith unto continually, referring all unto him that sent him, and whose Will be came to do, Heb. 10.5.
