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

I might argue the safety of coming unto Christ, from thence that we are invited to come unto him for help: for surely in those invitations God does not go about to delude men, and lovingly draw them in to take such a method for the salvation of their fools, as would fail them: 'tis not to be imagined, that the glorious God would with great seeming love to the souls of men, draw them into a snare, and with an appearance of good-will to them, advise them to take a course that were not safe: it is ••t to be thought that God would lovingly, and with a great deal of tenderness persuade men to set their feet on slippery places, and build their hopes upon a sandy foundation: there is no soul delusion in the Gospel: he would not urge men with such compassion to put their trust in Christ, but that the well-fare of their souls is secured ⟨p. 106⟩thereby: they may without fear venture upon the counsel and entreaties of the Lord: being secure in that that God will not lead them into danger: when God advises us to trust in Christ, he commands this way to us as a way of safety: for 'tis no part of love to advise us to put our confidence in a broken reed: but besides what might be argued this way, these invitations have in them, the force of commands, and lay us under duty in obedience unto God, to come unto Christ: as there is love in these calls, so there is author••• also; we are not left at liberty, whether we will […] to Christ or no, but are required to come. God does prescribe this way, and enforce it both by his love and also his authority: God that has put Jesus Christ into office, doth require us to receive him in all his offices, Psal: 2:12. and among other ways to be putting our trust in him: therefore this is called the work of God, John 6.29. this is the great business that he has set us to do; and this is called his commandment, 1 John 3.23▪ which shows not only that it is commanded, but that this is the special commandment, that God lays peculiar weight upon and hence it is a sin for men not to believe in Jesus Christ […] the spirit reproves for, John 16.9. of sin▪ because they believe not on me: hence God is angry with those that stay away from Christ,
