And as it is thus for Christ, so it is also for the Gospel, whatsoever privileges or favours from God we enjoy, they are all through the Gospel, 2 Thes. 2.14. Whereunto he called you by our Gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. All our glory cometh by Christ, all this glory of Christ is partook of us through the Gospel. And hence also is that in 2 Tim. 1.10. But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light, through the Gospel. Still you see the Gospel is made the means whereby we come to enjoy those favours and privileges from God that we do enjoy.

Still you see the Gospel is made the means whereby we come to injoy those favours and priviledges from God that we doe injoy.
But you may object, if so be all the grace and favour Gods people have had with God come by Christ, and by his Gospel; then how came they to enjoy it that lived before the coming of Christ, and the preaching of the Gospel, the Patriarchs and Fathers from Adam to Christ?
