3. He made Reconciliation for the sins of the People, Heb. 2. 17. he made by his blood an Atonement with God, to turn away that wrath which was due to us, so making peace: hereupon God is said to be in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, 2 Cor. 5. 19. being reconciled himself v 18. he lays down the enmity on his part and proceeds to what remains, to slay the enmity on our part, that we also may be reconciled: and this also
3. He made Reconciliation for the sinnes of the People, Heb. 2. 17. he made by his blood an Attonement with God, to turne away that wrath which was due to us, so making peace: hereupon God is said to be in Christ, reconciling the world unto himselfe, 2 Cor. 5. 19. being reconciled himselfe v 18. he lays down the enmity on his part and proceeds to what remaines, to slay the enmity on our part, that we also may be reconciled: and this also
4. He doth; for Rom. 5. 11. by our Lord Jesus Christ we do receive the Atonement, accept of the peace made and tendered, laying down our enmity to God, and so confirming an agreement betwixt us in his blood. So that through him we have an access unto the Father Ephes. 2. 18. Now the whole wisdom of this Agreement, without which, there is no walking with God, is hid in Christ: out of him God on his part is a consuming fire: we are as stubble fully dry, yet setting our selves in battle array against that fire; if we are brought together we are consumed. All our approachings to him out of Christ, are but to our detriment: in his blood alone have we this Agreement: and let not any of us once suppose that we have taken any step in the paths of God, with him, that any one duty is accepted, that all is not lost as to Eternity, if we have not done it, upon the account hereof.
