Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Harmony of the Divine Attributes in the Contrivance and Accomplishment of Mans Redemption The Justice of God in Redemption. - III. The completeness of Christ´s satisfaction proved from the causes and effects of it. The causes are the quality of his person and degrees of his sufferings. The effects are his resurrection, ascension, intercession at God´s right hand, and his exercising the supreme power in heaven and earth. The excellent benefits which God reconciled bestows on men, are the effects and evidences of his complete satisfaction. They are pardon of sin, grace, and glory. That repentance and faith are required in order to the partaking of the benefits purchased by Christs death, doth not lessen the merit of his sufferings; that afflictions and death are inflicted on believers doth not derogate from their all-sufficiency. Practical Inferences. - I. In the death of Christ there is the clearest discovery of the evil of sin. II. The strictness of divine justice is most visible in it. III. The consideration of the ends of Christs death takes off the scandal of the cross, and changes the offence into admiration. IV. The satisfaction of justice by Christ´s sufferings affords the strongest assurance that God is ready to pardon sinners. V.The absolute necessity of complying with the terms of the gospel for justification. There are but two ways of appearing before the supreme Judge; either in innocence, or by the righteousness of Christ. The causes why men reject Christ are, a legal temper that is natural to them, and the predominant love of sin. The unavoidable misery of all that will not submit to our Saviour. The Holiness of God in Redemption. - Of all the divine perfections, holiness is peculiarly admirable. The honour of it is secured in our redemption. I. In the bitter sufferings of Christ, God declared himself unappeasable to sin, though appeasable to sinners. II. The privileges purchased by Christ, are conveyed upon terms honourable to holiness. Pardon of sin, adoption, the inheritance of glory, are annexed to special qualifications in those who receive them. III. The Redeemer is made a quickening principle to inspire us with new life. In order to our sanctification, he hath given us the most perfect rule of holiness, he exhibited a complete pattern of it, he purchased and conveys the Spirit of holiness to us, he presents the strongest motives to persuade us to be holy. The perfect laws of Christ are considered, as they enjoin an absolute separation from all evil, and command the practice of all substantial goodness. Some particular precepts, which the gospel especially enforces, with the reasons of them, are considered. The Perfection of the Laws of Christ. - The perfection of Christ´s laws appears by comparing them with the precepts of Moses. The temple service was managed with pomp suitable to the disposition of the Jews, and the dispensation of the law; the Christian service is pure and spiritual; the Levitical ceremonies and ornaments are excluded from it, not only as unnecessary, but inconsistent with its spirituality. The obligation to the rituals of Moses is abolished, to introduce real righteousness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
