2. The strength and activity of Christs Love to you doth show it self in what he is Doing for you. 1. He is interceding for you at the right hand of God; Rom. 8. 34. Who is he that condemneth? it is Christ that died, yea rather that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. It is through Love that Christ doth plead for you in Heaven, that your persons may be accepted, your sins pardoned, your prayers answered, and that the Holy Ghost may be sent down to you to teach sanctify and comfort you. 2. He is preparing a place for you, Joh. 14. 2. In my fathers house there are many ⟨p. 81⟩Mansions, if it were not so I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you. It is through love that Christ as your forerunner is for you entered into the glorious Palace that is above, to take possession of it for you, and to prepare places there for your reception.
