3. It is the very work of the Love of the Holy Ghost: his whole work upon us, in us, for us consists in preparing of us for Obedience, enabling of us thereunto, and bringing forth the ⟨p. 210⟩fruits of it, in us: and this he doth in opposition to a Righteousness of our own, either before it, or to be made up by it: Tit. 3. 5. I need not insist on this: The fruits of the Spirit in us are known Gal. 5. 22.
3. It is the very worke of the Love of the Holy Ghost: his whole worke upon us, in us, for us consists in preparing of us for Obedience, enabling of us thereunto, and bringing forth the ⟨p. 210⟩fruits of it, in us: and this he doth in opposition to a Righteousnesse of our own, either before it, or to be made up by it: Tit. 3. 5. I need not insist on this: The fruits of the Spirit in us are known Gal. 5. 22.
And thus have we a twofold bottom of the necessity of our Obedience, and personal Holiness: God hath appointed it. He requires it. And it is an eminent immediate End of the distinct dispensation of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, in the work of our Salvation. If Gods Sovereignty over us is to be owned; If his Love towards us be to be regarded, if the whole work of the ever blessed Trinity, for us, in us, be of any moment, our Obedience is necessary.
