2 He sends them his Holy Spirit to quicken them, Joh. 6. 63. to cause them that are dead to hear his voice, Joh. 5. And to work in them, what ever is required of them, to make them partakers of his righteousness, and accepted with God. Thus doth Christ deal with his; He lives and dyes with an intention to work out, and complete righteousness for them: their enjoying of it, to a perfect Acceptation before God, is all that in the one and other he aimed at. Then he tenders it unto them, declares the usefulness and preciousness of it to their Souls, stirring them up to a desire and valuation of it; and lastly effectually bestows it upon them, reckons it unto them as theirs; that they should by it, for it, with it, be perfectly accepted with his Father.
2 He sends them his Holy Spirit to quicken them, Ioh. 6. 63. to cause them that are dead to heare his voyce, Ioh. 5. And to work in them, what ever is required of them, to make them partakers of his righteousnesse, and accepted with God. Thus doth Christ deale with his; He lives and dyes with an intention to work out, and compleat righteousnesse for them: their enjoying of it, to a perfect Acceptation before God, is all that in the one and other he aymed at. Then he tenders it unto them, declares the usefullnesse and pretiousnesse of it to their Soules, stirring them up to a desire and valuation of it; and lastly effectually bestowes it upon them, reckons it unto them as theirs; that they should by it, for it, with it, be perfectly accepted with his Father.
Thus for our Acceptation with God, two things are required. §. 9
