Come we now to the End why Christ gave himself for believers. And this is laid down in the latter part of the Verse, ⟨p. 22⟩That he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Come we now to the End why Christ gave himself for beleevers. And this is laid down in the latter part of the Verse, ⟨p. 22⟩That he might redeem us from all iniquitie, and purifie unto himself a pecu•iar people, zealous of good works.
Here are two ends of this action of Christ, the one is Particularly, concerning them for whom he gave himself, concerning Believers, That he might redeem them from all iniquity. The other is, concerning himself, that he might purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. These are the two ends of Christs giving of himself, the one concerneth the good of his people; the other, the glory of himself: Here was the end of Christs Incarnation, of Christs obedience to the Law, of Christs suffering and passion, the glory of himself, and the good of his people. This was the end of all that Christ did, and these two are ever joined together in Christ, mans salvation, and Gods honour.
