Faith is the uniting Grace by which we are made one with Christ, and receive him to be our own for all the ends of his Mediatorship. This therefore is the great Gospel condition on which Christ is offered to be made ours, and we are given to understand, that if thus we do not receive him, we shall not partake in ⟨p. 89⟩his saving mercies; Mark 16. 16.
