Yes, upon this ground every believing soul, and so thou 1if thou doest believe, mayest be sure to be freed as Christ himself is freed, and that even because Christ undertook and did all this for the poor believing soul, and he had not done it but for him. Isaiah 9. 6. Torus a child is born, to us a Son is given, All he did was for us and for our Salvation, so that if Christ hath any happiness, thou believing in him mayest be assured of it as Christ himself? All Gods intentions towards thee are founded in love, else how should that be true, John 3. 16. God so Loved the world, &c. Christ also took all upon him for our sake, even to redeem and save us, he needed not have done it for himself, for he was God in glory, &c. lift up therefore thy heart by faith, and believe this and thou shalt find it true, though we miserable wretches are unworthy of any such mercies, yet is God worthy to be believed; Look on Christ and consider who he is, and reflect it upon thy self, and if thou canst believe the Lord Jesus hath done all this for thy sake; To help and strengthen thee to this.
