Consid. 4. That, Ignorance about Christ in these days of Gospel-Light, is exceeding dangerous. A man had better be ignorant of every thing than of Christ. It is said, Hos. 4. 6. My people are destroyed for lack of Knowledge. If any Ignorance be destructive, Ignorance of Christ is so. Men may know much in divine things and yet perish, because they know not Christ. So the Pharisees, they had great knowledge in the Letter of the Scripture, and yet because they knew not Christ they perished to Eternity. Joh. 17. 3. This is life eternal, to know thee the only true God, & Him whom thou hast sent, Jesus Christ Then they that remain ignorant of Christ, must needs be in danger of death, yea of eternal Death.
