to him for righteousnesse For the promise that he should be the heire of the world was not given to Abraham or to his seed through the Law or his righteousnesse that hee had obtained by the workes of the Law but through the righteousnesse of faith for if they that are of the Law be heires faith is made voyd and the promise is made of no effect for the law causeth wrath because we cannot keep it for where no Law is there is no transgression it is the Law that discovers sinne unto us Romans 7.7 therefore it is by faith that it might come by grace Rom. 3.23 13 14 15.16 For by faith the righteousnes of God is revealed from faith to faith as it is written The just shall live by faith Rom. 1.17 Know that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by the faith of Jesus Christ even we I say have beleeved in Iesus Christ that wo might be justified by the faith of Christ and no● by ●he works of the Law because that by the work● of the Law no flesh shall be justifie Galat. 2.16 If there had been a law given which could have given life surely righteousnesse should have been b● the Law but the Scripture hath concluded all under sinne that the promise by the faith of Iesus Christ should be given to them that beleeve but before faith came we were kept under the Law an● shut up unto the faith which should afterwards 〈◊〉 revealed wherefore the Law was our Schoolmast●● to bring us to Christ that we might be made rig●teous by faith but that after faith is come we 〈◊〉 no longer under a Schoolmaster Galat. 3.21 22 23 24 25. Now the Law is not our School master to bring us to Christ for Christ●come and the Ministers ought to preach t● a●l people what Christ hath done for then that they might beleeve and how can they belee●● in him of whom they have not heard Rom. 1● 14. They must fi●st heare what he hath do●● for them before they can beleeve and Chri●● hath commanded his Apostles and Discipl●● to preach the Gospel to all Matth. 28 1● and what is the Gospel but glad tidings 〈◊〉 peace and good things Rom. 10.15 How beautifull upon the mountaines are the feet him that declareth and publisheth peace th● declareth good tidings and publisheth sal●tion saying to Sion Thy God reigneth Isai 5● They are to publish and make knowne to all ●orts of people what Christ hath done for ●hem how he hath made peace with God for ●hem in taking upon him all their sinnes and making full satisfaction for them and hath wrought a perfect salvation for them and 〈◊〉 perfect righteousnes for them and all things ●s already finished for them Iohn 19.30 and ●ll things are ready come to the marriage Matth. 22.4 that Christ hath made all ●hings ready for us there is nothing to be ●one by us for our salvation but for us to ●ome to him and he will give us all things ●reely and he will teach us all things and ●ead us in the way that we should walk in for 〈◊〉 am the Way saith Christ the Truth and the Life no man cometh to the Father but by me Iohn ●46 As soon as Christ was born there was an Angel came and declared to the Shepheards in ●he field and said to them Be not afrayd for ●●bold I bring you glad tidings of great joy that ●hall be to all people that is that unto you is born 〈◊〉 Saviour which is Christ the Lord Luke 2.10 ●1 God sent his Angell to declare this to the ●hepheards that they should declare it to others And this shewes unto us that those ●hat God hath made known his love unto by ●heir enjoyment of it they must make it ●nown to others that they also may be partakers of it and the Angel fell a praising God aying Glory be to God in the high heavens an● peace in earth and good will towards men at th● 14. verse Christ being born into the world was ●●ceeding to Gods glory and by his comi●● he hath made it known to us that he is glorified and he hath made our peace with God and hath made known to us that he is at pea● with us what love and good will God had to us in Christ and the Angel could doe n● other but declare this that all might kno● this and beleeve And this is the Gospel th● Christ hath commanded should be preache● and his Apostles did preach it and Paul saith there is a constraint laid on me woe be to 〈◊〉 if I preach not the Gospel I am not ashamed● the Gospel of Iesus Christ for it is the power 〈◊〉 God to salvation to every one that beleeveth T●● comes with power and overcomes the chiefe● sinners as it did Paul to heare of the love 〈◊〉 God to them and what Christ hath done a●● suffered for them and hath obtained a pardo● of his Father for them and calls every one t● come to him and receive their pardon of hi● This will worke more upon them then 〈◊〉 preach the law and judgements to them a● tell them that God is angry with them th● drives them from Christ and the messenge● of Christ must doe the message of Christ and not any thing to drive them from Christ but to set them on beleeving in Christ So now ye may see that the Law is not now our Schoolmaster to bring us to Christ now Christ is come the law must not be preached to us except it be to tell us how Christ hath fulfilled it for us but to tell us that we must doe thus and thus or else God will not doe thus and thus for us what is this but to be justified by the workes of the law and in so doing they make God a liar and take the honour from God and give it to themselves for we are wholly justified by faith alone and not by works and it is not our faith that justifies us but it is the faith of Jesus Christ Know that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by the faith of Jesus Christ even we have beleeved in Jesus Christ that we might be justified by the faith of Christ Galat. 2.16 and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Sonne of God Gal. 2.20 By grace are ●e saved through faith and that not of your selves it is the gift of Gad not of workes lest any man should boast Ephes 2.8 9. It is not our faith that can justifie us if it could then should we boast that we are justified by our faith and ●o make our workes the cause of our justification but here Paul tels us that by grace we are saved that is by the grace of Christ for 〈◊〉 hath justified us freely by his grace throug● the redemption that is in Iesus Christ so it 〈◊〉 alone by Christ that we are redeemed saw and justified
