5. Unbelief is a most grievous sin, 1 John 5.10. He that believeth not hath made God a Liar. What more horrible can be thought of, to call God a Liar? This doth every unbeliever under heaven. This therefore is the condemnation, John 3.19. And when the Lord saith that he will punish a man's soul with a vengeance, he expresseth it by saying such an one shall have his portion with unbelievers, Luke 12.46. The truth is, if a man would study with himself, how to vex the soul of God, he could not do it more than by unbelief; that is, than by not accepting of Jesus Christ upon his own terms as ⟨p. 177⟩propounded, and freely offered in the glorious Gospel of the blessed God. Yet for all this, the unbelieving Nation of the Jews shall be converted and saved. Therefore the greatest sinners may be saved.
