The truly blessed man, or, The way to be happy here, and forever being…

3. He hath made a way for his being found by Sinful men. And there is nothing wherein God hath equally celebrated his goodness to man, as in this […] that when Sin had shut us out of his presence, and raised Mountains between him and us, he hath been at the cost to remove them, and make a New and Living way for us to find him. For this it was that Christ came into the World, and made the Atonement with his own Blood, that he might pull down the wall of separation: And now he tells us that he is the way, Joh. 14. 6. And so there is a new way Consecrated, Heb. 10. 20. This God would not have done, if he had not designed that some of the lost race should find him in it.

4. He hath given us directions how we may find this way, and him in it. All the Gospel Precepts are adapted to this end. As there could have been no way, if he had not opened it, so we could never have known it, if he had not shown it us, Mic. 6. 8
