Q. Thus much of our Union. What is the communion of Christs benefits unto the Soul?
A. Whereby the Soul possessed with Christ, and right'unto him, hath by the same Spirit fruition of him, and all his benefits, John 4. 10. 14.
Q. What is the first of those benefits we do enjoy from Christ?
A. Justification, which is the Gracious Sentence of God the Father, whereby for the satisfaction of Christ apprehended by Faith, and imputed to the faithful, he absolves them from the guilt and condemnation of all sins, and accepts them as perfectly righteous to eternal life, Rom. 3. 24, 25. Rom. 4. 6, 7, 8. Rom. 8. 33, 34.
