That till we do acquaint our selves with God, we can have no peace with him.

That till wee doe acquaint our selves with God, wee can have no peace with him.

:680p. 214–215

The wicked are like the troubled Sea, whose waves cast up mire and dirt; there is no peace to the wicked, saith my God (Isa. 57.21.) why no peace to the wicked? the wicked have no acquaintance with God, they are strangers, they are afar off from God, and God beholds them afar off, therefore there is no peace to them: if they have any peace, it is a false peace, a deceitful peace, or it is but a short peace, which will quickly break out into a war again when once Conscience is awakened, when that sleeping Lyon is roused, what will become of all their peace? they will then •••d, indeed, that their soul is among Lions; and that they have been only secure, not safe, or that theirs hath been at best, a tr••e only, not a peace; no peace till acquainted with God, and no acquaintance with God can produce peace, but that which is by Jesus Christ; He is the Peace-maker, who is also the Mediator; sinners cannot have peace by any immediate acquain••••e with God, for he is a consuming fire, and sinners standing alone are but as dry stubble before him. When we are made nigh to ⟨p. 215⟩or acquainted with God by the blood of Jesus Christ, then (and not till then) are we at peace with him. Acquaint thy self with him, and be at peace: no peace without acquaintance with God, no acquaintance with God but by Christ, therefore no peace but by Christ.
