3. What is the Priest-hood of Christians.
1The office of a Priest is to teach, to pray, and to sacrifice: Wherefore our Priest-hood is, §11. To teach and instruct others; that is, to declare and show unto others the true knowledge of God. And thou, when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. §222. To invocate on God being known aright of us. §33. To perform unto God the duties of thankfulness, to render him his due worship, even all outward and inward obedience: or, to offer up unto God all our life time sacrifices of thanksgiving acceptable unto him,3 and sanctified by the sacrifice of Christ: namely, to offer up unto him, §11. Our selves: by mortifying the old man in us, and by giving our members as weapons of righteousness unto God. §242. Our prayers: Let us therefore by him offer the sacrifice of praise always to God, that is, the fruit of the lips, which confess his name. §353. Our alms-deeds: Thy prayer is heard and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God. §44. Our confession of the Gospel: Grace is given me of God that I should be the Minister of Jesus Christ towards the Gentiles, 6ministering the Gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable.
