and near to his Heart yet this his Son was offered to be our Ransom Isa 42.1 compared with Rom. 5.15 c. Much more the Grace of God and the gift by Grace which is by one Man Jesus Christ hath abounded unto many So that you see it is all ascribed to the Grace of God and the Gift of his Grace 7. Suppose Christ should have effered himself to God the Father to become our Surety this would not have done unless the Father had accepted of it It would not have been valued had not the Father accepted of a Surety Therefore the Father is Efficient Cause 8 Consider Christ was sent by the Father to do this Work and his being sent is ascribed to God's infinite Love God so loved the World that he gave his only Begotten Son John 3.16 So John 17.8 And they have believed that thou didst send me 9. Consider Christ is said to be Ordained before the Foundation of the World 1 Pet. 1.19 20. He i. e. Christ was delivered by the determinate Council and fore-knowledge of God Acts 4.27 28. 10. The Father called our dear Jesus to do this Work namely to Sacrifice himself or that he might be a Sacrifice for Sins Isa 42.6 I the LORD have called thee in Righteousness c. So Heb. 5.4 And no Man taketh this Honour to himself but he that is called of God as was Aaron So our Lord he was called by the Father to be First both a Priest and Sacrifice for us Secondly he was called by the Father to be a King to conquer our Enemies Thirdly he was called by the Father to be a Prophet to declare his Grace Infinite Love and Goodness to us But 11. The Father did anoint him to his Office to Work out our Salvation Isa 61.1 Psal 45.7 12. The Father prepared him a Body made of our Nature to be laid down in our room and stead to suffer the penalty of the Law H●b 10.5 13. The Father commanded him to lay down his Life to purchase those that he hath chosen John 10.18 14. The Father raised him from the Dead on purpose that he might justifie us 1 Cor. 6.14 15. The holy Spirit is called the promise of the Father Acts 1.4 16. Hence God the Father is called the Father of all Mercies 1 Cor. 1.3 because he is the Efficient Cause of our Justification and all things are said to be of him and from him It is he that gives us the true Bread 17. Christ is made of God unto us Wisdom Righteousness Sanctification and Redemption 1 Cor. 1.30 Thus the Efficient or first Cause of our Justification is wholly of God's Grace But it is necessary to consider how God the Father is concerned in our Justification yet more particularly And 1. He i. e. the Father hath been the injured Person in order of nature and must therefore be satisfied and his Wrath appeased c. 2. Because the Father knew what would do to satisfie his Justice and bring Relief to the Sinner For the Law is broke and he must find out a way to preserve the Sanction of the Law 3. Because the Honour and Glory of the name of the Father might not be Eclipsed for we must not render the Son more kind to his People than the Father 4. Because the Father is said to be our Justifier Rom. 3.26 He declares us Righteous and pronounces us Just But to apply what I have said Use 1. O Believer Let this be of use to stir you up to look into the Channel in which the free Grace of God runs to us it is in a way of Attonement and whatever you have it is all paid for Justification Pardon of Sin and eternal Life it is all paid for therefore see I say where Free Grace runs 2. Hence you may come to know the sweet and Gracious nature of God the Father do not think that he is only an angry Judge and a severe God but also a Gracious Father 3. Admire God's Free Grace which is the Spring of all your Comfort 4. Learn to Love and Adore this God for in this to admiration he holds forth to us his Love and good Will 5. Take heed you do not give any of the Glory of God the Father from him for all must honour the Father as they honour the Son 6. We may from hence infer God is Just and yet he is merciful and gracious and therefore the found out this way to justifie us as well as pardon us 7. O Sinner take heed you do not slight the infinite Grace Kindness and Goodness of God the Father Oh! dread Unbelief and Contempt of this Soveraign Grace 8. Accept the Offers of the Father yea the Offers and Tenders of this Free Grace which is made to you by the Father 9. O you Prodigals Return unto your Father the Father is ready to receive you Nay he 'll meet you half way And lastly O Bless and P●aise God the Father for all the Grace in your Justification Praise the Father through Christ by the Holy Spirit To whom be Glory for Ever and Ever Amen A Plain and Familiar DISCOURSE ON Justification c. SERMON III. ROM 3. xxiv Being justified freely by his Grace thro' the Redemption that is in Jesus Christ Doctrin That Justification is wholly of the free Grace of God through or by the Imputation of what Christ hath done for us or his perfect Righteousness I shall now proceed to the next thing namely to prove to you that Christ is the Meritorious and Mediatoral Cause of our Justification And this will appear if you consider him as he is our Surety who paid our Debts and as our Redeemer who laid down his Life as the Price of our Ransom As he is an Intercessor for us and our Advocate with the Father to plead our Cause and to plead the Merits of his own Blood for us Rom. 8.33 34. Who shall lay any thing to the Charge of God's Elect It is God that justifieth Who is he that Condemneth It is Christ that died yea rather that is risen again who is even at the Right Hand of God who also maketh Intercession for us He is pleading with the Father the Value and Merits of his Blood Hence Christ is said to justifie us Isa 53.11 By his knowledge shall my Righteous Servant justifie many i.e. He shall defend the Cause and plead in the behalf of many and you must consider 1. That the Father justifies us as the soveraign Act of his own Free Grace in appointing of Christ and in accepting of him in our stead and that to satisfie his Justice who is the great and holy Judge he being also our offended Creator and our offended Creditor You must consider 2. The Son as our Surety justifies us through his own Free Grace in paying off all our Debts and satisfying the Creditor But 3. Take this Caveat by the way we must not divide the matter of our Justification these must not be separated the
