Of Communion with God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

2. A way whereby to approach unto God with our desires. §. 7 This also we have by him provided for us: Joh. 14. 5, 6. Thomas saith unto Jesus, Lord we know not whether thou goest, and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the ^gway, no man cometh unto the Father but by me. That way which we had of going unto God at our Creation, is quite shut up by sin. The sword of the Law which hath fire put into it by sin, turns every way to stop all passages unto communion with God. Jesus Christ hath consecrated a ^hnew and living way (for the Saints) through the veil, that is to say the flesh, Heb. 10 20. He hath consecrated and set it apart, for Believers, and for them alone. Others pretend to go to God with their prayers, but they come not nigh him. How can they possibly come to the end, who go not in the way? Christ only is the way to the throne of Grace, none comes to God but by him. By him we have an access in one Spirit unto the Father. Ephes. 2. v. 18. These two things then the Saints have for the opening of their hearts at the throne of Grace, Assistance and a Way. The Assistance of the Spirit, without which they are nothing, and the way of Christs Mediation, without which God is not to be approached unto.
