Quest. But who can obey God in all things?
Ans. An adopted Heir of Heaven, though he cannot obey every Precept perfectly, yet he doth evangelically: 1. He approves of every Command, Rom. 7.16. I consent to the law that it […] good. 2. A Child of God delights in every Command, Psal. 119.97. O how I love thy precepts. 3. His desire is to obey every Command, Psal. 119.5. O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes. 4. Wherein he comes short, he looks up to Christ's Blood to make supply for his Defects. This is Evangelical Obedience, which though it be not to Satisfaction, it is to Acceptation.
