CHAP. IV.
Demonstrates in the second place what influence Christs Ascension hath in a beleevers non-condemnation, upon that second premised consideration of Christs being a Common person for us. The security that Faith may have from thence.
WE have thus seen what triumphing evidence and demonstration, both Christs Ascension, and sitting at Gods right hand, do afford us for this, that Christ being considered as our Surety, hath therefore undoubtedly subdued our enemies and sins, and satisfied God. Let us now consider further, what force, efficacy, and influence these two (both his Ascending and fitting at Gods right hand as an Head, and Common person for us) have in them towards the assured working and accomplishment of the salvation of believers, his Elect; And from the consideration of this which is a second Head, our faith may be yet further confirmed and strengthened in its confidence. Who shall condemn? it is Christ, that is at Gods right hand. I shall take in (as in the former) both his Ascension and sitting at Gods right hand.
