3. They approve of, value and rejoice in this Righteousness, §. 39, for their Acceptation, which the Lord Jesus hath wrought out, and provided for them: this being discovered to them, they approve of it with all their hearts, and rest in it, Isa. 45. 24. Surely shall one say, in the Lord have I righteousness and strength. This is their voice and language, when once the Righteousness of God in Christ, is made known to them: Here is Righteousness indeed, here have I rest for my soul. Like the Merchant man in the Gospel, Math. 13. 45, 46. that finds the pearl of price: I had been searching up and down, I looked this and that way for help, but it was far away: I spent my strength for that which was not bread; here is that indeed, which makes me rich for ever. When first the Righteousness of Christ, for Acceptation with God, is revealed to a poor labouring Soul, that hath sought for rest and hath found none, he is surprised and amazed, and is not able to contain it self: and such an one always in his heart approves this Righteousness on a fivefold account.
