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

First, Christ has fulfilled Obedience unto the commands of the Law: Jesus Christ lived a life of spotless holiness and integrity: obedient in all things unto the command of God, Joh. 17 4. I have glorified thee i• Earth, I have finished the work that thou gavest me to do, 1 Pet. 2.22. Who did no sin▪ neither was guile found in his ••uth: he lived in a perfect and absolute conformity to the Law of God all the days of his life: and therefore he is said to know no sin. 2 Cor. •.21. concerning this active obedience of Christ, I shall here only observe these two things:
