to be brought out of it why hear this God hath delivered his own Son to death for the redemption of poor creatures and he hath paid a sufficient price for the ransome of all therefore come to Jesus Christ and cast thy self upon him giving thy self up to him he can and will redeem thee from sin to God from death to life from the power of Satan into the glorious liberty of God's children 4. Was the Son of God himself delivered up to death for the redemption of souls Vse 4 here is abundant comfort for such as have by faith laid hold on Gospel-redemption they may be sure of their being thorowly redeemed it is a full redemption that is wrought by the Son of God God's work is perfect work the soul that cometh to Christ and by faith closeth with him is freed from the guilt of sin and the curse of the law and is certainly set above condemnation Though there be matter of condemnation in a believer that for which he deserves to be condemned yet actual condemnation there is none to him Christ hath taken it away he died for this purpose he was delivered to death for our offences and the dying of the Son of God cannot be in vain cannot fail of its end surely the satisfaction that Christ made to his Father was a very full satisfaction and his death was full of merit for those for whom he died For 1. The sufferings of Christ were infinite though not in respect of time yet in respect of the quantity and quality of them and in res●ect of the person suffering who was God as well as Man 2. Christ his death must needs be satisfactiory and meritorious on behalf of those for whom he died because it was that which God required the means of satisfaction and acquisition which he himself appointed it was according to the Covenant of redemption a performance of that Rom. 3.25 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Hath fore-appointed Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation for sin through faith in his bloud This fore appointment of God must be referred not only to the person of the Redeemer as that God had appointed his Son to be the Mediator of Redemption but likewise to the manner and means of Redemption that Jesus Christ being made man should expiate the sins of men by the sacrifice of himself by shedding his bloud and that his death should be the meritorious procuring cause of righteousness and life and the favor of God and all blessing and happiness to those for whom he died So then here is that which may give satisfaction to Believers to cause them to rest in Christ's Redemption because he is God and because his Father from Eternity designed him to be our Redeemer and his Death to be the effectual means of a full Redemption Therefore when Satan tempteth and Conscience accuseth and the Law threatneth a Child of God and when Death and Hell would make him afraid let him turn his eye to Christ and let him fix meditation on the Death of Christ the Son of God it was to purpose the work which his Father gave him to do he did throughly he fully expiated Sin and so the Law is answered the Curse removed the Divel conquered the wrath of God appeased and righteousness and life restored to those for whom he died and the evil from which he hath redeemed them shall never return upon them and the good which he hath purchased for them shall never be lost from them 5. I shall now close with words of Counsel Vse 5 Exhort Did God give his Son to die for Sinners Then let us search out and consider what that good is which the death of Christ bringeth to souls that so we may take comfort in meditating on this great gift of God Certainly it was for special purpose that God gave his Son to die now we must know the advantage that hence redounds to souls or else we cannot taste the sweetness of such a mercy I shall instance in some fruits and benefits of Christ's death which comprehend all the the specialties of advantage by it amounting to a full redemption 1. Hereby full satisfaction is made to the justice of God for believers The word satisfaction indeed is not found in Scripture applied to the death of Christ but the thing is made out fully in other expressions as when it is said that he did bear the sins of many Isa 53.12 1 Pet. 2.24 and he bare our sins in his body on the tree the phrase importeth according to the signification of the original word the taking of the punishment of sin off from us upon himself and so intimates satisfaction Christ is said to be the propitiation for our sins 1 Jo. 2.2 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is to expiate sin by making satisfaction to justice and so to render God propitious in what sense can Christ be said to be a propitiation for sin but by satisfying Gods offended justice and violated law The Apostle saith by the righteousness of one Rom 5 18. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the free gift came to the justification of life it may be read by one satisfaction Jesus Christ by death for sinners hath paid their debts hath not left one farthing upon the score hath satisfied for their sins not leaving one sin unsatisfied for so that they stand not liable to the justice of God which inflicteth everlasting punishment upon sinners as all poor souls will find who have not a part in Christ Christ hath made full satisfaction for all those who apply to themselves the fruits of his death so that they are acquited and justified by vertue of his death for the merit of his satisfaction 2. Gods justice being satisfied his anger is appeased he is reconciled to souls by this propitiatory sacrifice so that now God and they are friends there is am●ty betwixt them being enemies Rom. 9.10 We were reconciled to God by the death of his Son 2 Cor. 5.18 ●●a 53.5 Modo Deo fiuamur propitio nihil metuendum a creaturis God hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ the chastisement of our peace was upon him Now as it is a fearful thing to have God to be our enemy so it is most sweet and comfortable to be in his favor for if God be for us who can be against us This reconciliation to God is a great priviledge indeed that which lets the soul into the injoyment of all other priviledges and blessings 3. The Divel that great Enemy of Souls is conquered the Serpents head is broken the Seed of the Woman hath broken it Jesus Christ the Son of God was made flesh that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death Heb. 2.14 that is the Divel 4. By Christ's dying 1 Cor. 15.54 2 Tim. 1.10 Death is swallowed up in victory Jesus Christ hath abolished Death and hath taken
