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

3. Boldness to go unto God. The voice of sinners in themselves, §. 8 if once acquainted with the Terror of the Lord is, Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall inhabit with everlasting burnings? Isa. 33 v. 14, And no marvel; ⁱshame and trembling before God are the proper Issues of sin. God will revenge that Carnal, Atheistical boldness which sinners out of Christ do use towards him. But we have now, boldness to enter into the Holiest by the blood of Jesus: by a new and living way which he hath Consecrated for us through the veil, that is to say his flesh, and having a high Priest over the house of God, we may draw near ⟨p. 138⟩with a true heart in full assurance of Faith, Heb. 10 9, 20. The truth is, such is the Glory and terror of the Lord, such the infinite perfection of his Holiness, that on clear sight of it, it will make the soul conclude, that of its self, it ^hcannot serve him, nor will it be to any advantage, but add to the fierceness of his destruction, once to draw nigh to him. It is in Christ alone, and on the account alone of his oblation and intercession, that we have any boldness to approach unto him. And these 3. Advantages have the Saints of communicating their minds unto the Lord Christ, which he hath provided for them because he delights in them.
