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

5. Being satisfied in Christ: the believer sees enough in Christ to answer the needs of his soul, there is a fullness in Christ, his soul finds rest there: he does not see any need of his own righteousness to ⟨p. 237⟩commend him to Gods acceptance; he is satisfied in the Robes of Christs Righteousness, he sees there is no need of his, to make him beautiful in the eyes of God: he is satisfied in this bread of life, and he finds no necessity to feed upon husks: other men imagine a need of something of their own to ingratiate them with God, and to procure their acceptance: they care not trust in Christ alone, but are labouring to piece out his righteousness with theirs: and when they hear the tenders of grace made through Christ, they are •ot satisfied, but are looking out for something else to encourage them, they dare not trust in this alone but the believer is satisfied in Christ, and he throws away all other confidences, both as vain and as needless: he finds no want of any other righteousness to justify him, and carry before God; he don't regard nor desire any thing of his own to commend him to Gods acceptance: he sees there is ground enough of encouragement in Christ, Phil. 3.3. we rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh, 1 Cor. 2.2. I have determined to know nothing among you but Jesus Christ and him crucified.
