have this Doctrine Doct. That as God the Father so the Lord Jesus Christ is the author of the Saints graces and comfort As the form of the Apostles salutations in most of his Epistles is grace and peace from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ so he concludes generally the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ Reason Because Col. 1.19 It pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell Joh. 1.16 And of his fulness have all we received grace for grace Col. 2.9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness not only the fulness of Divinity but the fulness of the Deity of the Godhead bodily that second Person of the Trinity who was true Man was likewise true God therefore he is the author of all good from hence then for it is very remarkeable his mentioning the Son let us I say make this use of it let us honour the Son as we honour the Father I and the Father are one saith Christ Joh. 10.30 and the Apostle Phil. 2.6 7. saith of Christ Who being in the form of God thought it no robbery to equal with God but made himself of no reputation and took upon him the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men c. though he were a creature as he was Man yet he is true God Creator as he is God he is the bestower of the same gifts as God the Father and he together with God the Father doth inable people to leave their sins and to walk in his ways this we may see Ephes 1.23 and Chap. 2.1 2. vers compared where speaking of Christ the fulness of him that filleth all in all and You hath he quickned who were dead in trespasses and sins wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this World c. Christ inables the Saints to make progress in holiness to proceed in every good Word and Work Fourthly He directs us what course to take that we might obtain blessings from God namely from God Doct. The way to obtain blessings from God is to seek it of God For the Apostle prevents an objection which they might make he exhorts them to stedfastness but they might say Object How may we do to keep in the ways of God whence should we have this power He Answers We may have it from God and from Jesus Christ as appears in the Text. Now our Lord Jesus Christ He doth not say the Lord Jesus Christ but our's mark whom he speaks it of not only of himself Paul the believer and Silvanus and Timothy but the Saints the believers of the Church of Thessalonica from hence observe this Doctrine Doct. True faith doth apply Jesus Ch 〈…〉 as it 's own portion Psal 119.57 Thou art my portion oh Lord And again Psal 16.5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance Lam. 3.24 The Lord is my portion saith my soul therefore will I hope in him And so true Faith doth apply Jesus Christ to the soul as it 's own portion Therefore when Thomas that staggered in his faith came to confirm it by putting his hand into his side c. he saith My Lord and my God Joh. 20. ver 28. Vse I. To apply this then You then that have Faith prize it as Christ is call'd Precious so likewise is Faith call'd Precious it is precious Faith by which you come to imbrace precious Christ now as Christ is the gift of God so Faith is the gift of God and you cannot receive Jesus Christ who is the gift of God but by Faith John 1.12 To as many as received him he gave power to become the Sons of God even to them that believe on his Name Believing is receiving Vse II.

Christ is our Saviour As he is call'd often throughout the New Testament Christ is our Saviour and he alone There 's no other salvation to be had in any other Acts 4.12 First Christ is our Saviour as he saves us from Sathan Ephes 4.8 He led captivity captive it is Christ that came to destroy the works of the Devil and when he did come he did conquer and overcome principalities and power Col. 2.15 it 's Jesus Christ that recovers sinners out of the snare of the Devil that 's the first Secondly He saves us from sin Matth. 1.21 Thou shal't call his name Jesus saith the Angel for he shall save his people from their sins I might shew you both joyn'd together in the 2. Ephes 1.2 And you hath he quickned who were dead in trespasses and sins wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this World according to the Prince of the power of the air c. First he saves his people from the power of sin he sets them into a glorious liberty Joh. 8.34 36. saith our Saviour He that commits sin is the servant of sin and in the 36. vers If the Son make you free you shall be free indeed and saith the Apostle Rom. 6.11 reckon your selves to be dead indeed unto sin but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord 1 Pet. 1.18 19. Forasmuch as ye know that you were not redeemed from your vain conversation with corruptible things as Silver and Gold but with the precious blood of Christ as of a Lamb without blemish Secondly Jesus Christ saves as from the power of sin so from the penalty due to sin from the punishment of sin as first from the curse of the Law Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the Law being made a curse for us Gal. 3.13 secondly from the wrath of God 1 Thes 1.10 Jesus who delivereth us from the wrath to come 1 Thes 5.8 9 10. For God hath not appointed us to wrath but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ Who died for us that whether we wake or sleep we should live together with him it is he alone by whom we obtain salvation Let us only apply it in a word Vse How precious then should Jesus Christ be to us saith the Apostle Peter Vnto you that believe therefore he is precious 1 Pet. 2.7 vers I he is your Saviour He that believeth on him shall not be confounded Oh! how do captives love their Redeemer when they see the man that comes to free them out of bondage how do they love the sight of him Oh how should sinners love Jesus Christ who is their Saviour 1 Cor. 16.22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ let him be anathama
