Heaven is called the purchased possession, Eph. 1.14. because it was bought with the blood of the Son of God. Reader, wonder ⟨p. 310⟩at this price, and at this place, We are bold to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, Heb. 10.19.
Heven is called the purchased possession, Eph. 1.14. because it was bought with the blood of the Son of God. Reader, wonder ⟨p. 310⟩at this price, and at this place, We are bold to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, Heb. 10.19.
When thou hearest of a purchase on earth that costeth a hundred thousand pound, or a million, wouldst not thou presently conclude, Surely that must be an incomparable seat for delight! what pleasant Springs! what stately rooms! what curious contrivances! what unheard of excellencies must be there! without question all things imaginable for riches, glory, and comfort. But when thou readest in Scripture of a purchase which cost the blood of God (to which all the wealth in the world is as dirt, as nothing) sit down and consider what an house, what an heaven that must be, if thou considerest God did infinitely love his Son, and was not so prodigal of his blood, as to let one drop more be shed then heaven was worth.
