Christs death hath abolished all Ordinances of the Law which were of Gods ordaining much more the Ordinances of men in the worship of God this is a bondage under Ceremonies but Christs death hath made it voide therefore let us say with david Psalmes 53.7.8 Oh that the Salvation of Israel were come out of Sion when God bringeth back the captivity of his people Jacob shall rejoyce and Israel shall be glad Vse 3. Is it so that Christ hath delivered you from the bondage of sinne and hath set thee at liberty this must still further instruct thee that thou art not to live to thy selfe or to thine own lusts For the grace of God that bringeth salvation unto all men hath appeared and teacheth us that we should deny ungodlinesse and worldly lusts and that wee should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world And in the 14. verse Who gave himselfe for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purge from us sinne to bee a peculiar people unto him zealous of good works Rom. 13.11 12 13 14 And that knowing the time that now is it is high time to awake out of sleep for now is our salvation neerer then when we believed The night is farre spent the day is at hand let us therefore cast off the works of darknesse and put on the Armour of light We that professe Religion we that have given our names to Jesus Christ and are brought to beleeve in Jesus let us walke as in the day not in riotting and drunkennesse not in chambring and wantonnesse not in strife and envying but put yee on the Lord Jesus Christ and make not provision for the flesh to fulfill the lust thereof Hast thou Christ for thy Way to thy Father hast thou faith Then shew thy faith by thy works Art thou Christs free man and hast thou the Spirit of God If thou hast then thou hast the fruits of the Spirit and the fruits of the Spirit are Gal. 5.22 23 24. Love Joy Peace Long-suffering Gentlenesse Godlinesse Faith Meeknesse Temperance against such there is no Law And they that are Christs have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts If we live in the Spirit let us walke in the Spirit So hee that is in Christ is a new creature Old things are passed away and all things are become new Old Drunkennesse old Swearing old Uncleannesse 1 Pet. 4.1 ● 3 All these are not the fruits of the spirit but contrariwise these are the fruits of the flesh and tend to death which things are to be done away in those that are become new and are to live no longer to the lusts of the flesh but to the will of God who hath redeemed us from this bondage and set us from thraldome to liberty to serve him in newnesse of life Now in the next place I will shew you what kind of Liberty or Way he is for us and to us to the Father that Christ is so our liberty that he is the way from the Father to the Soule and from the soule to the Father though Christ hath satisfied the justice of God for us and so hath made a way for us to the Father yet we cannot goe to the Father till Christ comes to us The Reason is because there is no light in us by nature Christ must come and set up a light in the soule and then in that light we shall see light Psal 36.9 Christ must come to us before we can come to him he must come and knock at the doore of our souls as in Eph. 5.14 Awake thou that sleepest and stand up from the dead Christ shall give thee light Thus must Christ come and awaken us this is the way of Christ to to the soule this is the liberty we have by Christ to take away our darknesse and to give us light 2. By nature we are all dead and this is the way of Christ to quicken the soule so the soule being brought out from that sleep of death doth begin to look up after Christ and to take Christ for its way to the Father Thus the soule makes Christ a way whereby it doth suck comfort from the Father Thus Christ is the way for the soul to have acceptance with the Father if we obtain any thing of the Father it must be in and by and through Jesus Christ We must not in our own names or in the name of Saints or Angels but in the name of Christ Then whatsoever we shall ask in faith in the sons Name hee will give it us Joh. 16.23 So you see what kind of way Christ is to us to give us life and to give us light and so sets at liberty from the bondage of darknesse and death and therefore having done these things for us hee would have us stand fast in that liberty wherein he hath made us free 3. Therefore Christ is so our Liberty that there is no coming to the Father but by him This will appeare to be true if we consider the present estate and condition that every man is in by nature All men have sinned and come short of the glory of God that is we come short of heaven We are by nature the children of Wrath Ephes 2.3 This is true God made man in a good condition but man hath sinned and so hath lost his first estate hee was made perfect and was to have lived for ever but now hee must not eat of that tree of life God hath sent him forth from the Garden of Eden So hee drove out the man and placed at the East end of the Garden a Cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every way to keep the way of the Tree of life Gen. 3.24 Now here came in mans misery hee is cast out from God and without the mercy of God he must die unto all eternity Here is now no coming to the Father but by Christ no coming to have an onenesse with God without Christ man must perish without Christ man must die unto all eternity Rom. 5.12 Wherefore as by one man sin entred into the world and death by sin death passed upon all men for that all men have sinned The Divell hath deceived Eve he said unto the woman Yee shall not surely dye But we see man shall die and man doth die and man is cast out of the presence of God and there is no coming to the Father but by Christ he is the Way the Truth and the Life Joh. 14.6 Now concerning mans fall it is irrecoverable If man should have lived 10000. yeares and been thinking how to find out a way to the Father he could not find out a way as in Acts 4.12 There is now no other name under Heaven whereby we can be saved bue onely by Jesus Christ Had not Christ been our way we had perished and remained under the bondage of wrath Galat. 3.23 Before Faith came we were kept under the Law and so we were in bondage shut
