How shall we know that we acknowledge Christ?
To acknowledge Christ, God-man in his natures, that we have a great 1deal of love to him, that he would be born for us: and a great deal of reverence, in that he is God. We must not think-of him but-with a great deal of reverence, and meddle with nothing of him but with much love; he is God-man, God incarnate. He acknowledgeth Christ in his Priestly Office, that doth not despair, that doth believe his full satisfaction to God; and doth not mingle other things, Popish satisfaction, and Purgatory for venial sins. He acknowledgeth Christs Priestly Office, that goes boldly to God through Christs intercession-in heaven, and boldly trusts in the satisfaction of Christ in the clamours of conscience, and the accusations of ⟨p. 332⟩Satan. This is to acknowledge Christ a Priest in our boldness and liberty to God, and confidence in our conscience of the forgiveness of sins. To acknowledge Christ as a King, is to yield subjection to his Word, and to suffer him to rule us. To acknowledge him as a Prophet, to be instructed, and guided by him.
