Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Discourse Concerning the Church: In Which the Several Acceptations of the Word Are Explained and Distinguished; The Gospel Covenant Delineated, a Right of Admission and Access to Special Ordinances, in Their Outward Administration and Inward Efficacy, Stated and Discussed, Design to Remo The Hebrew commonwealth was a kingdom of God, formed by a special covenant which he made with that people when he brought them out of Egypt. Jehovah was their Law-giver, Judge and King. But this was an earthly theocracy, a kingdom of this world, constituted and governed in this peculiar manner, that it might, as a type, represent the kingdom of heaven, the gospel church. As all who were Interested in the Sinal covenant, which was ratified and sealed by the blood of sacrificed beasts, belonged to the commonwealth of Israel, and were entitled to some at least of its peculiar privileges; so all who are interested in the newcovenant, ratified and sealed by the blood of Christ, belong to the kingdom of heaven, and are members of the church of God. The covenant then, being the great charter and law of the kingdom of heaven, contains a grant or promise of all those special privileges to which the people of God are entitled, and prescribes all that worship, service and obedience, which they are to render to him. And all who are in the covenant, and so members of the church, are under special bonds and engagements to comply with the duties prescribed to them; and are by a covenant grant entitled to peculiar privileges. But some have a greater interest in the blessings of the covenant than others, and belong to the church in a special and more important sense. For it is to be observed, that the church is a word, which in scripture, and by the common usage of christians, bears several different senses, which should be carefully noticed, explained and distinguished ; otherwise we shall be in danger of great confusion and mistake in our conceptions and discourses. These various acceptations, I shall now endeavour to state and define, so far as may be needful to our present design. I. The Catholick or Universal Church, taken in its largest acceptation includes or comprehends all who are in any respect interested in the covenant, so as to be under its bonds, and entitled to any gospel privilege either external or internal, to which others, who are not in covenant, have no right.
