CHAP. VIII.
The Privileges of those that are in Christ are great. Christs righteousness is imputatively derived upon them, to deliver them from wrath, to entitle them to life eternal. Christ is their Advocate above; he pleads for them, that they may have pardon, the spirit, access to God. They are adopted in him; as sons they have a freedom in holy things, a continual indulgence from God, an heavenly inheritance. They have the Holy Spirit in them, it lives, breathes, moves, operates in them. They have communion with God; their services answer to his call; his communications answer to their services. They are happy in every condition; in prosperity their mercies are pure; in adversity they have God with them; and admirably appearing to them. Our great work is Union with Christ.
