The safety of appearing at the day of judgement, in the righteousness of Christ

The fifth Proposition for the clearing this Argument is,

That Christs work as Mediator, was not to restore Man to his former condition, but to bring him to Salvation: Our primitive estate in Adam was an estate of innocency: we were habitually holy, without any offence, probationers for glory, neither in an estate of condemnation, nor in an estate of justification: and God if he had so pleased might have appointed Christ to have restored us to our primitive condition; to have set us free from the guilt and power of sin, and so might put us upon it to have wrought for our own blessedness again according to the tenor of the former Covenant: but Christ was appointed to bring us into an estate of justification and salvation: Jesus Christ had his Authority bestowed upon him to bring us to life: John 17.2.
