Christ's certain and sudden appearance to judgment

1. Get an interest in Christ as your high Priest and Advocate; Be sensible of your sins: be assured of his death for sin and satisfaction to Gods ⟨p. 262⟩justice; Be persuaded of his intercession at the right hand of God, and that he is able and willing to save you; apply your selves to him, that through him you may obtain remission of sins, and an inheritance amongst the Saints; and if through the mediation of Christ now, you obtain a pardon of all your sins here: how welcome will your Redeemer be unto you, and with what joy will you lift up your heads out of your graves when the day of your Redemption and perfect Salvation is come, and your Saviour doth appear to take vengeance upon unpardoned sinners, but shall own and acquit you before the whole world.

2. Get Christ to be your Master; Enter your selves amongst his Servants and Disciples: submit to his Teachings: learn his Lessons; believe and obey his Commands: follow his Example; promote his honour and interest in the world; be ready to do, or suffer any thing for him; and when your Lord and Master cometh in his glory, you will find that it was not in vain to serve him, though in ways harsh and grating to flesh and blood. O what a Reward will be give then to his Servants! What a crown of glory will he put upon their heads! It is a sweet encouraging Promise which Christ hath made now, and will make good to all his faithful servants at that day,
