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

and he is not fickle and inconstant, repentance is hid from his eyes, 1 John 5.9. if we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: why should I fright my self with appearances and uncertain reasonings, why should I doubt though the things are strange and wonderful? though we can't see the reason of these things: the Word of God cannot fail, we may venture our souls on it, if they were more worth than they are, Psal. 91 4. 2 Tim. 1.12. 3. The heart fixes sometimes upon the sufficiency of Christ: that comes with mighty power upon the heart; stilling accusations, dissipating fears, drawing the heart to rejoice in Christ, Phil. 3.10. that I may know him, and the power of his Resurrection: sometimes the Lord fastens it on the heart, that Christ is the way that God has appointed unto life, Heb. 10.19, 20. sometimes that Christ has born our sins in his own body, 1 Pet. 2.24. sometimes that Justice is satisfied, the Law fully answered by Christ: that God may without any injustice pardon and save, Rom. 3.26. that the sacrifice of Christ is acceptable unto God, Eph. 5.2. that God has fully avenged himself on Christ, 2 cor. 5.21. that Christ is our Passover, the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world: that all the families of the earth shall be blessed in ⟨p. 242⟩him: that he is our High-priest, bearing our names on his breast in the most holy place: these and scores of such considerations which the Lord at times, fastens on the hearts of his people; do wonderfully help them to cast themselves upon Christ, giving him the glory of redeeming them, Rev. 5.12. worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power and riches, and wisdom and strength, and honour and glory, and blessing.
