2. The Resurrection of Christ assures us of our Justification from our sins, Rom. 4. 25. The Father by delivering Christ to death, did actually condemn our sins in his flesh as our surety, Rom. 8. 3. So by letting him out of the prison of the grave in his Resurrection, he did actually absolve, and acquit him from the obligation in which he was bound, and so in discharging him, doth acknowledge payment and satisfaction, and so we are discharged too: If he had not risen, we had been still in our sins, 1 Cor. 15. 17, 18. Rom. 8. 34. Phil. 3. 8, 9, 10.
