Things in* which True Christians J
agree.
Wc are agreed, that sucii justification
and such sunctificaiioii are both effects of
of most absolutely free and sorrreign grace,
that none cou'u be ever justified, but by
freest grace; that none can ever be sanetitled
but by freest grace, most absolutely
and most sovereignly free.
We are agreed, that the highest perfection
of sane:ificulion that can ever possibly
be at!nine J unto, signifies nothing
at all to deserve, to procure by merit
our justification.
Wo uro agreed that both, as they are
from the most tree and sovereign grace, so
thr*y do come through the m< diat.on of Jesus
{jurist, uto alone mediator be! wet n God and
inan ; that the righteousness is en'irely and
only Christ's, by which we are sane: ified ^according
to that in Cor. vi. 9,10, 11. Such
as aro mentioned thero were before the
grossest and vilest of sinners, fornicators,
ad Jtercrs, idolaters, (Sic. And snoh, saith ,
the apostle, were some ofyou. But ye are j
washed ; but ye are sanctified ; hut ye ]
are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, j
and by the Spirit of our God. You cannot
but be in all these a^jyed.
We arc agreed, f.hut whoever docs sincerely,
evangelicaiJy believe ;n God through
Christ, receive Christ, is united with him, or
is in hirr*; who doth by serious repentance
turo to God, whoso heart is won to love
him in truth as his highest and best good,
1 who is conformed to the image of his Son , J
| and who having been made willing in the j
I day of his power, doth now render a rnj
cere obedience to him ; every such one is
j in a safe state, accepted with God, has
frmnd rrr.ir?/? in l,I? nvnc Pur nn wap/Ij nf
| Scripture can be plainer, than that they
' that believe on Christ shall not perish, jut
i [shall] have everlasting life, John iii. 16.
| Yea, that they [do] have it, ver. 33. That
! life is begun with them which is never to
end, or which is the sure way to be coni
tinued till it become everlasting. That
| they that repent and turn from all their
! trangressions, their iniquities shall not be
1 their ruin, Ezek. xviii. 33. That God hath
prepared the things which eye hath not seen
' for them that love him, and will give them
the crown of life according to his promise,
1 Cor. ii. 5, Jam. i. 12. That Christ doth
i become the author of eternal salvation to
them that obey them, Heb. v. 9. That
j there is no condemnation to them that ere
; in Christ, that walk not alter the flesh, but
i af.crthe Spirit, Rom. viii. 1. That it must,
j turn wholly to the praise of the glory of his
j grace, that God makes iliem accep:ed in
j the beloved, Eph. i. 6.
We do all agree, that they that do never)
j believe, they thtit never repent, they that
. never iove God, ihey that are never brought
to ohpy him, thnI livo in onmity nr.il

; never acccepied with God, are liable unto
.1 coining and abiding wraili, and remain
. j under condemnation, John iii. 1G, 36. Lube
I xiiu 3. Col. iii. 6.
i We agree, that such faith, such repen.
j tancc, such love to God, such obedience,
j even in the most enti e sincerity, are not to
'! bo considered at all, as any cause of such
I i a person's acceptance with God. They
; | do characterize the accepted per on, but
: they cause it, not, they deserve nothing :
II nay, they could nob if they were perfect.
1 ! No internal work of the Holy Ghost, though
'! in this our present s ate, it were most abso|!
lutely perfect, so as to exclude every thing
of s.n, could be any part of that righteous,
i aess that must justify us before God. To
^! suppose that it coulJ, would be manifestly
' i to confound the offices of the Redeemer,
' and of the Holy Ghost. It was Christ that
! was to merit for us ; the Holy Ghost was
' I never to merit for us. It was not the Holy
1J Ghost that died for us, nor can h's opera!
tions -r productions in us have any causa[!
live influence to the meriting the justified
: and accepted state of any person before
| God. They were never meant for that
j purpose, nor have any aptitude or accom!
(lateness thereunto. They cannot make
1 us never to have sinned ; nor can atone for
1 our having done so. Wo cannot but be
ugrced in this, for it is plain, and carries is
i own evidence in itself; i. e. suppose a
person, as soon as he is converted made
! perfectly free from sin, that very moment,
| by some extraordinary powerful work of
| tho holy Ghost on his soul, how shall that
. expiate for his having been a sinner ?
i Now where are so great things wherein
j we agree, and we make little of them;
things that should raise up our souls, and
awaken all ourpowers unto the highest acts
of love, gratitude und praise to God and
nur Redeemer, and fill us with wonder and

; here, said the lute Mr. Fuller, two rel gious
; charac'ers, who were intimately acquainted
j in early life. Providence favored one of
i them with a tide of prosperity. The other,
i fearing for his friend, lest his heart should j
| bo overcharged with the cares ot this life, j
; an*! the deceitfulness of riches, one clay asked
him whether he did not find prosperity a
j snare to him. lie paused, and answered,
t I am not conscious that I du, for I enjoy
God in all things." Some years after, his
affairs took another turn. He lost, if not the
a hole, ve' 'he far greater ear' of \v!:u'. lie
liucJ or cc gained, and wan greatly reduce!,*
Hsold friend being one day in his com3
j any, renewed the question, whether lie
< il not find what had lately befallen him
to bo too much lur him. Again he paused,
and answered, * I am not conscious that 1
do, lor now I enjov all things in God." This
was truly a lift; of faith.
