It is a point we should often think of, and seriously consider of: for it 1doth wondrously stablish our hearts. Doth God love me, and doth he do good to me abstracted from Christ, my self alone? no; for then alas, I should fly from his presence: but he looks upon me, and considers me as I am in his Son; therefore in Joh. 17. in that blessed prayer of Christ, saith he, That thou mayest love them with the same love wherewith thou lovest me. God loves us with the same love that he loves his Son with; That the love wherewith thou lovest me, may be in them. He loves him first, and then he loves us with that love that he loves him. Here is the reason that God looks on us with a forbearing eye notwithstanding all the matter of anger and wrath in us; he looks on us in his Son, as members of his Son: his love to us, is founded on his love to his Son.
