How the Saints hold Communion with Christ as to their Acceptation with God. What is required on the part of Christ, hereunto: in his Intention: In the declaration thereof. The sum of our acceptation with God wherein it consists. What is required on the part of Believers to this Communion: and how they hold it with Christ. Some objections proposed to consideration: why the Elect are not accepted immediately on the undertaking, and death of Christ: in what sense they are so: Christ a Common or public person. How he came to be so: The way of our acceptation with God on that account: The second objection. The necessity of our obedience stated: Ephes. 2. 8, 9, 10. The Grounds, Causes and Ends of it manifested. Its proper place in the new Covenant. How the Saints in particular hold Communion with Christ in this purchased Grace. They approve of this Righteousness: the grounds thereof. Reject their own: the grounds thereof. The Commutation of sin and Righteousness between Christ and Believers, Some objections Answered.
