and women in their blood or in their sins Ezek. 16 6 8. he in the the time of love forgives them all their sins covers their nakednesse with the skirt of Christs Righteousnesse and bids them live This is done when God enters into covenant with them and so they become his Now that God may be justified in so doing though he found them ungodly unbeleevers impenitent prophane c. He doth not onely forgive them all their sins and so leave them ungodly to go on in their wicked waies But he gives them his holy Spirit of Sanctificaton who changeth their hearts renewes the spirit of their minde sanctifies their wills and affection and produceth all those fruits of the spirit in them mentioned Gal. 5.22 23. whereby they are made holy in all manner of conversation 1 Pet. 1.15 16. And this reason the Apostle gives Ephes 1.4 6. That we should be holy to the praise of the glory of his grace and verse 12. That we should be to the praise of his Glory And herein is God justified in justifying the ungodly in that he doth make and keep them holy Jude 1. Reason 2. God will have his people to be holy for the honour and glory of his Son Jesus Christ to whom he hath given them All mine are thine saith Christ in his Prayer to his Father John 17.1 10. and thine are mine and I am glorified in them also verse 19. And for their sakes I sanctifie my selfe that they also might be sanctified Christ shall be glorified in his Saints especially in his Kingly Office Revel 15.3 4. Just and true are thy waies Thou King of Saints Who shall not fear thee O Lord and glorifie thy Name for thou onely art holy And albeit now Christ and his poor Saints are scorned and despised of men yet that Prophesie of Enoch the seventh from Adam will have its accomplishment Jude 14. Behold the Lord commeth with ten thousand of his Saints The Lord Iesus shall be revealed from Heaven with his mighty Angels When he shall come to be glorified in his Saints 2 Thes 17 10. And in that day it will appear to all the world that it is the great glory of Jesus Christ that his Father hath given him so many ten thousands of Saints to be his Subjects and himselfe to be their King Isa 33.17 22. Reason 3. God will have his people holy that they may enjoy spirituall communion with him in this life and Eternall communion with him in heaven The Saints do enjoy spirituall Communion with God in this life 1 John 1.3 Truely our fellowship is with the father and with his Son Jesus Christ and with the Spirit Phil. 2.1 And they shall have eternall communion with God in Heaven in that Kingdome prepared for them which then thy shall receive Matth. 25.34 Now this communion with God none can have without holinesse Heb. 12.14 Therefore God will have his people to be holy 1. Vse Will God have his people to be holy Let it be usefull to us first for enquiry what holinesse is And how God makes His holy 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 1 Thes 4 3. 7 Holinesse or Sanctification is a reall change of the whole Man from the pollution of sin to the purity of the Image of Christ Rom. 6.22 But now being made free from sin and become servants of God ye have your fruits unto holinesse Here was a reall change in them from the pollution of sin 2 Cor. 3.18 But we all with open face beholding as in a glasse the glory of the Lord are changed into the same Image Here was the other part of that reall change in them to wit into the purity of the Image of Christ For as men in their naturall estate bear the Image of the Earthy first-man Adam so men in their spirituall estate bear the Image of the Heavenly second-Man CHRIST 1 Cor. 15.47 48 49. This holinesse or sanctification if you have respect to the Author and efficient cause thereof is called the sanctification of the Spirit 2 Thes 2.13 and 1 Pet. 1.2 If unto the divine act of God it is called Renovation or Renewing of the minde Ephes 4.23 and Rom. 12.2 If unto the Acts and fruits of holinesse in beleevers it is called Faith love long suffering gentlenesse goodnesse meeknesse temperance c. Gal. 5.22 If unto the root fountain and foundation of holinesse the Scripture saith Christ is our sanctification 1 Cor. 1.30 Thus you hear what holinesse is Now God maketh His holy by his Spirit and Word Whereby he doth convince them that they are without Christ Ephes 2.12 Maketh discoverie to them of the worth of Christ their need of him and Gods offer of him in a covenant of Grace upon Gospell termes changing their hearts into the Image of Christ 2 Cor. 3.18 Gives them Faith in Christ Repentance from dead workes Love to all the Saints c. And so the very God of Peace Sanctifie his people 1 Thessalonians 5.23 Thus much may suffice touching the Jnquiry 2. Vse Will God have his people to be holy Let us make use of this to discover who are the people of God who are not Those people that are ungodly unsanctified are not the people of God such may boast of their Justification but they deceive themselves for God hath no justified-unsanctified people 1 Cor. 6 9 10 11. They may talke of the free-grace of God manifested to them bringing them Salvation but they are deluded for the grace of God that bringeth Salvation teacheth us to deny ungodlinesse and to live godly Titus 2.11 12. Now there are three sorts of professors who would be esteemed the people of God and yet are not sanctifyed by the holy spirit they are not holy and therefore are not the Lords people in Covenant The first Sort are all those legall professors who having been by the spirit and word of God much convinced of sin Iohn 16.8 Sorely wounded in their consciences Proverbes 18.14 and somewhat reformed in their conversations by hearing godly Preachers as Herod was Mark 6 20. after all this goe about to establish their own righteousnesse and rest upon their duties humiliation and legall reformation And never have their hearts changed and renewed nor Christ given of the Father unto them These are not sanctified are not the Lords Hear what the Apostle speakes to such among the Galatians Are yee so foolish having begun in the Spirit are you now made perfect by the flesh Have you affired so many things in vain If it be yet in vaine Well such of you as God hath chosen in Christ that you should bee holy c. He will also by his Spirit and Word convince you of Righteousnesse to wit that all your own Righteousnesses are as filthy rags Isa 64.6 That being ignorant of Gods Righteousnesse you have gone about to establish your owne righteousnesse Rom. 10 3. and that you must be found in Christ not having your own righteousnesse which is of the
