The doctrine of the covenant of redemption. Wherein is laid the foundation of all…

Here is the great discovery of the Suretyship of Christ, in which he put himself in the sinners room and undertook to satisfy for him, and God accepted of him in that Relation; and accordingly all that he did afterward• in the work of his Humiliation was on this score, and in the Accomplishment ⟨p. 103⟩of this Undertaking of his, and so it was done on the account of us Sinners 2 Cor. 5.21. Nor indeed could all that Christ actually did and suffered give us a through satisfaction on this account, without our being able to refer it to this Covenant, in which it is that we come to know what is the Efficacy and Acceptableness of it. We cannot then enter into the Covenant of Grace, without having an eye on the Covenant of Redemption: for in the exerting of Justifying Faith, we do not only believe that we shall be Saved, but we believe in Christ for Salvation, to come to us from his merit, by the application of the virtue of his active and passive Obedience to us for our Justification: and the acceptance of our persons and duties in him, being Sprinkled with his Blood: and all this is a proper result from the Covenant we are now treating of.
