Whatsoever Grace, or Holiness the Saints, and People of God have from Christ; they have it all in a way of receiving. Of His Fullness all we have received.

The former Branch told us, That Christ Communicates: This tells us, That we Receive. There the Emphasis lay upon Christs Communicating: And here the Accent is set upon our Receiving. The Grace of Jesus Christ is not borne with us: We do not go to Jesus Christ in the strength of our Nature, to take of His Fullness to our selves: But Jesus Christ gives out, and we receive: All in a way of Receiving.

The Grace, and Mercy of our Justification, and remission of Sins; is by way of Receiving. Rom. 5.11. Not only so, but we also joy in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. Atonement is to be had, it is to be had by Christ; and this in a way of Receiving.
