2. Where we draw near to God.
3. The manner of our drawing near to God.
4. Why we must draw near to God.
1. How we are capable of drawing 1near to God. By nature we stand in opposition to God, Col. 1. 21. alienated and enemies. How then can we approach nigh to God? Answ. It is through a Mediator*. Out of Christ God is a consuming fire, Heb. 12. 29. But Jesus Christ is the screen between us and divine Justice. Christ as our High Priest assumes our flesh. Christ's flesh is called a veil, Heb. 10. 20. As Moses when his face shone so exceeding bright, put a veil upon it, and then Israel might approach near to him, and look upon him: So Christ having veiled himself with our humane nature, we may now draw nigh to God and behold him.
