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

So also Phil. 3. 9. And be found in him not having my own §. 22 Righteousness which is of the Law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the Righteousness which is of God by faith. The Righteousness we receive is opposed to our own obedience to the Law: opposed to it, not as something in another kind, but as something in the same kind, excluding that from such an end which the other obtains. Now this is the obedience of Christ to the Law. Himself thereby being made to us Righteousness: 1 Cor. 1. 30.

Rom. 5. 10. the issue of the death of Christ is placed upon Reconciliation, that is a slaying of the Enmity and restoring us into that Condition of Peace and Friendship wherein Adam was before his fall. But is there no more to be done? notwithstanding that there was no wrath due to Adam, yet he was to obey if he would enjoy eternal life. Something there is moreover to be done in respect of us, if after the slaying of the enmity and Reconciliation made we shall enjoy life; being reconciled by his death: we are saved by that perfect Obedience which in his life he yielded to the Law of God. There is distinct mention made of Reconciliation, through a non-imputation of sin: as Psal 321.
