of the Gospel is shewed to us that we may take heed and beware of iniquity in General and so of this of covetousness For in what is said we may see and learn 1. That there is forgiveness with him For 1. We are not now necessarily under the guilt and dominion of our sins for as is said he is raised for our justification who dyed for our sins and this so vertuous that as all have sinned and are come short of the glory of God so they are justified freely by Gods grace through the redemption that is in Jesus and this true before he is set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood Rom. 3. 23-25 He hath so satisfied God's justice fulfilled his truth appeased his wrath answered his law and so paid our debt that now the wrath of God doth not abide on any man simply because our first Father hath sinned and we in him or because we are naturally and unavoidably polluted and defiled in our own persons as we come to have a being from him and so are necessarily inclined to pride covetousness c. This is not the condemnation that we are by nature and first birth darkness but that light is vouchsafed and men love darkness rather than light c. Joh. 3. 19. The judgement of this world was executed upon and suffered by Jesus Christ so that no man is condemned because he hath sinned in the first Adam simply and comes forth from him necessarily polluted but there is a door of repentance opened and all the ends of the Earth called to look to him and be saved Isa 45. 22. Nor shall any man perish for ever in that first death but be all raised again by the man Christ Jesus and shall not then be judged according to that first rule of judgement Joh. 5. 22-27 And this because Jesus Christ by the grace of God tasted death for every man and is raised again from the dead and indeed otherwise we are yet in our sins and must so abide for ever for no man can redeem his brother Psal 49. 7. and all faith preaching and hope is in vain 1 Cor. 15. 14-17 if there were any one man for whom Christ hath not by the grace of God tasted death it were impossible for such an one to flee from covetousness and in vain to warn him so to do The house of Israel were reasoning rightly if there had been any ground for their so saying If say they our transgressions and our sins be upon us and we pine away in them how can we then live how can we turn to God from Idols to serve the living and true God it is impossible Ezek. 33. 10. So may we say if mens sins be upon them which they are naturally and necessarily guilty of and polluted with there is then no hope the case is desperate But what he said to them when they were so reasoning As I live saith the Lord I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked but that the wicked turn from his way and live Vers 11. is generally true concerning mankind while he is calling to them and of the truth of this he hath given his Son for a witness in that he appointed him and he was manifested to take away our sins and in him is no sin 1. Joh. 3. 5. As the first offence was unto all men to condemnation so the righteousness of the last Adam was to all men to justification of life in an answerable sense Rom. 5. 18 he once in the end of the world appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself Heb. 9. 26. and by vertue and as the effect thereof he hath delivered us in himself from the power of our enemies Now saith he is the judgement of this world namely when his soul was troubled now shall the Prince of this world be cast out namely from being the Prince of the world as he was necessarily according to the curse of the law And I if I be lifted up from the Earth will draw all men unto me namely from under the judgement of the world and dominion of the Prince of the world Joh. 12. 27 31 32. Joh. 17. 2. Math. 12. 28 29. Now then herein is further evidenced that man may lay a part all filthiness and so this of covetousness in that that snare of Satan is broken and we are in Christ deliver'd without which we had been necessarily bond-slaves to him and led captive by him at his pleasure being shut out and banished from God But he hath delivered us in himself out of the hands of our enemies that we might serve him without fear in righteousness and holiness before him c. Luk. 1. 73-75 Psal 98. 1-4 Col. 2. 15. Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness and for his wonderful works to the children of men For he hath broken the gates of brass and cut the bars of iron in sunder Psal 107. 15 16. He hath broken down the middle wall of partition between God and us hath taken out of the way all that was in the way contrary to us nailing it to his Cross and having spoiled principalities and powers he made a shew of them openly triumphing over them in himself Eph. 2. 14 15. Col. 2. 14 15. Psal 47. 1-5 6. and 68. 18. 2. Herein is also shewn that Jesus Christ hath not onely purged away the guilt of that first sin and sinfulness from before the presence of God but also that he hath obtained power into himself to make reconciliation for the sins of the people which they are guilty of upon a new account and which deserve new wrath even the wrath to come he hath not onely received gifts in the man for men as they come to have a being from Adam but for the rebellious also that are disobedient and gainsaying to the Gospel compare Isa 65. 2. with Rom. 10. 21. that the Lord God might dwell among them Psal 68. 18. without which they could not possibly be made an habitation for him He offer'd up sacrifice first for his own sins which were imputed to him and accepted by him as his to answer for and then for the peoples and this he did not often as the former High-priests he needed not to do it daily but once when he offered up himself Heb. 7. 27. and 10 11 12. He hath not onely made peace for us by the blood of his Cross But he is our peace Eph. 2. 14. the propitiation for the sins of the whole world 1 Joh. 2. 2. and the propitiatory and Mercy-seat and so set forth in the word of faith Rom. 3. 25. and as in our types of old the Mercy-seat was put above and so did cover the ark in which was the two tables of the covenant whereby our sinfulness and vileness is discovered Exod. 25. 21 22. even so Jesus Christ he is the true Mercy-seat the covering for our personal sins in which we also transgress the law
