Influences of the life of grace

2. Whatsoever Christ hath purchased by the merit of his death, as our high Priest, offering himself on the cross for the elect, that same Christ as our high Priest in heaven applies them as Intercessor. This proposition must be sure; for what Christ purchaseth and buyeth by the merit of his death on the cross, that he actually makes good as Intercessor in heaven. It's true he is said to buy and redeem persons, not things, or graces, as faith and the habit of grace, he purchaseth an inheritance and a redemption to us, and we have repentance and remission of sins in and through his blood; for, in his blood, by an Hebraism, is, for his blood; and yet remission of sins is not properly redeemed or ransomed, never being captivated; but in justice that remission could not be ours but by satisfaction. But so it is, that Christ purchased by the merit of his death, as our high Priest, offering himself for the elect•on the cross, that we should be freed from all iniquity, Tit. 2. 14. from our vain conversation of unbelief, 1 Pet. 1. 18. that we should have repentance, remission of our sins in his blood, and faith, the free gift of God in Christ even when we were not yet born. And he died for us while we were yet sinners, weak and ungodly, Rom. 5. 6. And God commends his love to us that Christ died for us [Greek or Hebrew], while we were yet sinners; for if when we were enemies, [Greek or Hebrew], we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. If Christ as high Priest offer himself a sacrifice for us, to obtain reconciliation to us, when we were not born, and when we were ungodly and enemy, she must intercede, that such a purchased reconciliation and merited grace, the grace of faith, and the habit of faith, be in his due time bestowed on us.
