Conyers at the Black Raven in Duck-Lane 1678. The true Christians subjection to Christ the only way to Salvation Psalm 2. 11. and 12 Verses Serve the Lord with fear and rejoyce with trembling Kiss the Son least he be angry and ye perish from the way when his wrath is kindled but a little blessed are all they that put their trust in him THe chief scope of the Psalm is to foretel the Extent and prevalency of the Kingdome of Christ admonishing his Enemies to submit to his Government deriding the vanity of their opposing projects and fury and forewarning them of their ruine if they come not in I shall draw the scope of the Text into this one Doctrine No power or priviledge can save that man from the fearful sudden consuming wrath of God that doth not unfainedly love depend upon and subject himself unto the Lord Jesus Christ In handling of this point I shall observe ●… order First I will shew you what this Love Dependency and Subjection are Secondly what wrath it is that will thus kindle and consume them Thirdly why this Kissing the Son is the only way to escape it Fourthly why no power or priviledge else can procure their escape Fifthly Application First Subjection to Christ is the acknowledging of his absolute Soveraignty both as he is God Creatour and as a Redeemer over all the world and particularly our selves and a hearty consent to this his Soveraignty especially that he be our Lord and his Laws our Rule and a delivering our selves to be governed accordingly Secondly this Dependency on Christ is when we acknowledge the sufficiency of his satisfaction and his power and willingness to save all that receive him in his free universal offer in the Gospel we do heartily accept him for our only Saviour and accordingly renouncing all other do wait upon him beleivingly for the benefits of his Sufferings and Office and the performance of his ●●●…hful covenant to us in restoring us to all the ●●●…ings which we lost and advancing us to a far ●…ater everlasting glory Thirdly this Affection to Christ is when in the knowledge and sence of his love to us both common and especial and of his own excellency and the blessedness of enjoying of him and the Father and life by him our hearts do chuse him and the Father by him as our only happiness and accordingly love him above all things in the world These threefold descriptions containeth the summ of the Gospel so hath it nothing but what is of necessity to sound Christianity Secondly what wrath is it that will thus kindle and consume them as there are two Covenants so each hath his proper penalty for its breaking 1. Then till men do come in and submit to Christ they lye under the wrath of God for all their sins as they are against the Covenant of works or they are lyable to the curse of that Covenant Christ's death hath taken away the curse of the Covenant not absolutely from any man but conditionally which becomes absolute when the condition is performed the Elect themselves are not by nature under the Covenant of Grace but remain under the curse of the first Covenant till they come into Christ 2. Whosoever rejecteth or neglecteth this Grace and so finally breaketh the new Covenant must also bear the curse or the penalty thereof besides all the former which will be a greater curse even as the blessings of this Covenant are far greater than those of the first It was a heavy punishment to be cast out of Paradise from the presence of God and to be cursed by him and subject to Eternal death and all creatures below cursed for our sakes to bear all those curses and Plagues threatned in Duteronomy 27. ch 26. verse Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this Law to do them and all the people shall say Amen See Deut. 29. chap. 20 verse Heb. 10. Chap. 28. 29. verses He that despised Moses Law ayed without mercy c. Of how much sorer punishment shall he be thought worthy who hath troden under foot the Son of God and hath counted the blood of the Covenant wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing and hath done despite unto the spirit of grace 3. Why this kissing the Son that is loving depending on and submitting to him is the only way to escape these curses I answer First the proper Reason that can be given is The will of the great Law giver who hath absolute power over us might dispose of us as he pleases and make us such Laws and conditions as seem best to his wisdome upon which our justification and salvation should depend he bath resolved that this shall be the only condition and way And that as no man shall be justified by a meer Christ or his death abstracted from Faith that is of Age or Reason so this Faith shall be the condition upon which they shall be justified or as a Christ neglected shall save no man so the accepting or receiving of him shall justify and save them as the condition of the Covenant performed under which notion it is that faith justifieth The Reasons from the former are 1. From the Equity it is but equal that he that hath bought us so dearly and from a stare so desperate and deplorable should be acknowledged and accepted for our Saviour and Lord. 1 Cor. 6. cha 19. 20. verses And yea are not your own for ye are bought with a price therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit which are Gods Rom. 14. chapter 9. verse For to this end Christ both dyed and rose again that he might rule over both quick and dead 2. As salvation by free grace through Christ is away most suitable to God's honour and to our own necessities as we could not have a more fitter way to the Father than by Christ so neither could there be a fitter
