4. Does [〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉], divine worship belong to the first person in the Trinity? So it does to Christ (John 5:23; Hebrews 1:6): Let all the angels of God worship him. 5. Is creation proper to the Deity?

Who hate God and his people, (as the vine and laurel) have an antipathy, who do all they can to disparage holiness — are these redeemed who are unreconciled? Christ has purchased a reprieve for these, but a sinner may have a reprieve and yet go to hell (John 5:6). 2. Such as are…

In his resurrection he was exalted above the grave, in his ascension he was exalted above the airy and starry heaven, in his sitting at God's right hand: he is exalted above the highest heavens far (Ephesians 4:10): Far above all heavens. 5. God has exalted Christ in constitutin…

Seventh Fruit: Absolution at the Day of Judgment. Christ shall judge the world (John 5:22). God has committed all judgment to the Son.

Branch 2. If Christ be King, it informs us that all matters of fact must one day be brought before him. Christ has Ius vitae & necis, the power of life and death in his hand (John 5:22): the Father has committed all judgment to the Son. He who once hung upon the cross shall sit…

1. Concerning God's providences towards his Church: We are ready to quarrel with providence if every thing does not jump with our desire: Remember God's work goes on, and nothing falls out but what he has decreed from eternity. 2. God has decreed troubles for the Church's good;…

I may pray, says a Christian, but I shall be never the better, I question whether God does hear, or whether he will grant. This is to dishonor God, and take his name in vain; this is to make God either an idol, that he has ears and hears not, or a liar, who promises mercy to the…

Quest. 3. Who shall be Judge? Resp. The Lord Jesus Christ (John 5:22). The Father has committed all judgment to the Son.

John 5:28. Marvel not at this, for the hour is coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good to the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil to the resurrection of damnation. Question. What benefits shal…

The letter of Scripture has been preserved without any corruption in the original tongue. The Scriptures were not corrupted before Christ's time, for then Christ would never have sent the Jews to the Scriptures; but he sends them to the Scriptures (John 5:39): Search the Scriptu…

He seemed not to be so much troubled at the fear of losing his own life and kingdom, as that God should lose his glory. 12. We hallow and sanctify God's name, when we give the same honor to God the Son, as we give to God the Father (John 5:23): That all men should honor the Son…

Christianity teaches compassion. (4.) Masters must endeavor the spiritual good of their servants; they must be Seraphims to kindle their love to religion: They must be monitors to put them in mind of their souls: They must bring them to the pool of the Sanctuary, waiting till th…

2. If we would have the word written effectual to our souls, let us peruse it with intenseness of mind. (John 5:39) Search the Scriptures. The Greek word [in non-Latin alphabet] signifies to search as for a vein of silver.

God's works of Providence are his most holy, wise, and powerful preserving and governing all his creatures, and all their actions. The work of God's Providence (John 5:17): My Father works until now, and I work. The great God has rested from the works of creation, he does not cr…

There is not more or less in the Trinity, the Father is not more God than the Son and Holy Ghost. There is an order in the Godhead, but no degrees; one person has not a majority or supereminency above another, therefore we must give equal worship to all the persons (John 5:23).…

Such are they, of the Father the Son (John 10:30): I and my Father are one. Father, Son and Spirit (John 5:7): three that bare witness in Heaven, Father, Son and Spirit, and these three are one (Matthew 28:19): Baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Spirit. For if th…

Justification is an act of authority, Pilate speaks in the quality of a judge (John 19:10): Do you know not that I have power to crucify you, and have power to release you? God only can justify a sinner, for he is the mouth of his own law, and reserves the dispensation of it to…

Qu. 3. How then are these ways and means of the worship of God made known to us? Answ. In and by the written word only; which contains a full and perfect revelation of the will of God; as to his whole worship, and all the concernments of it: John 5:39, Isaiah 8:20, Luke 16:19, 2…

Q. What is the eternal misery? A. Damnation and destruction in another world (2 Thessalonians 1:9; John 5:29). Q. Wherein does that consist?

Q. Is any work of Christ as King anywhere expressly ascribed to him as man? A. Yes, authority to execute judgment as a kingly work; and this belongs to Christ as man (John 5:27). Q. Over whom is Christ a King?

Q. But divine dominion and sovereignty over all creatures belonging to the Father and to the Holy Ghost, why is this peculiarly ascribed to Christ? A. Not in respect of right but the actual and immediate exercise thereof; for the former belonging to all the divine persons, this…

Q. Wherein else does the resurrection of the godly and wicked differ? A. The wicked shall not rise in such a glorious and excellent manner, nor to the same end with the godly, but to the resurrection of damnation (John 5:29). Q. What follows after the Resurrection?

To instance in those more common and inferior works of the Spirit on the hearts of men not as yet savingly regenerated: the Spirit enlightening them, together with impressions of joy and a taste of sweetness in the promises of the gospel and of salvation revealed therein, which…

This point is carefully to be marked, as declaring the great power of true saving faith; for, if faith can overcome created and sanctified nature, then undoubtedly the power thereof, will enable man to overcome the corruptions of his nature, and the temptations of the world: for…

And they do but deceive themselves and others who in the interpretation of mystical passages and prophecies of the Old Testament, do neglect the accomplishment of them and light given to them in the New, taking up with Jewish traditions, or vain conjectures of their own, such as…

A joy it is unspeakable and full of glory (1 Peter 1:8). See (John 5:11; Romans 15:13; Jude 24). It is that inexpressible satisfaction which is wrought in the minds of believers by the Holy Ghost, from an evidence of their interest in the love of God by Christ, with all the frui…

This does our Apostle find out in all that was spoken concerning Melchisedec and the Levitical priesthood. This he gives himself in charge (John 5:39): Search the Scriptures, they are they which testifie of me. Our principal aim in searching the Scriptures ought to be, that we m…

Behold, says he of him, my servant whom I uphold, mine Elect in whom my Soul delights, or is well pleased, [⟨in non-Latin alphabet⟩] (Matthew 3:17). When he undertook this office, and said, Lo I come to do your Will, O God, the Soul of God rested in him (Exodus 23:21; John 5:20,…

It is not a particular judgment on every individual person immediately on his death, although such a judgment there be, for in and by death there is a declaration made concerning the eternal condition of the deceased; but judgment here is opposed to the second appearance of Chri…

And sometimes it is distinguished with respect to its consequents, in different persons, the good and the bad. The resurrection of the former is called [in non-Latin alphabet] (John 5:29), the resurrection of life, that is, which is to life eternal, the means of entrance into it…

And as to the Office it self, this Eternal or endless life of Christ, is his life as the Son of God. Hereon depends his own Mediatory life for ever, and his conferring of Eternal life on us (John 5:26, 27). And to be a Priest by virtue of, or according to this Power, stands in d…

1. The eternal life of God in his divine nature; this he lives in himself. As the Father has life in himself, so has he given to the Son to have life in himself (John 5:26). He has given it him by eternal generation, in a communication to him of all the divine properties.

Hereunto [in non-Latin alphabet] is opposed [in non-Latin alphabet], other blood, the blood of others; that is, the blood of bulls and goats offered in sacrifice, in for cum, say most Expositors, which is not unusual. See 1 John 5:6; Genesis 32:10; Hosea 4:3. The meaning is, by…

For as we read of true holiness: or holiness of truth (Ephesians 4:24), so there is a true love; and a love that is not of truth; and the love which many have to Christ is no better than that which they had of old, who one while cried, Hosanna to the Son of David; and afterward,…

Answ. It is true; but consider what hinders you? The main thing is, you will not come to him (John 5:40). (Revelation 22:17). Whoever will let him come: The Spirit and the Bride, say come. God & Christ, and all that are friends to him, say, Come, and if you do not, it is because…

If it be according to the Scripture, may it not [•]e said to be according to Christs Ordinance? Sure, when Christ himself bids us Search the Scripture (John 5:39), and when the Bereans are commended for searching the Scripture, whether those things were so, which were Preached b…

He is omnipresent, Where two or three are gathered together in my name, [illegible] am I in the midst among them (Matthew 18:20). Lastly he is omnipotent, Whatever things the Father does, the same does the Son also (John 5:17). 4. The works of creation and preservation are as we…

There is an outward calling, and in that sense Christ speaks, (Matthew 20:16): Many are called, but few are chosen; that is, outwardly called in the invitations of the Word; so all wicked men that live within the hearing of the Gospel; but it seems they are only called obiter, b…

We read in John 12:42-43 that among the chief rulers many believed on him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. Therefore Christ tells them in John 5:44 that such a believing could be no true faith:…

To go on boldly, carelessly and impenitently in any known sin is inconsistent with effectual faith in Christ, and with that regeneration that the believer is made partaker of. 4. They are yet in unbelief that are so engaged to the things and contentments of the world as that the…

(Matthew 11:27) All things are delivered to me of my Father. And the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment to the Son; (John 5:22) that is, the whole government and administration of affairs. It is not to be understood of the last judgment, for then it would be a…

IOHN 5.25. Verily, verily, I say to you, that the hour is coming and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live. The occasion of these words was this: when as Christ had affirmed to the Jews, that God was his Father, and the Jews…

She has the keeping of Scripture but gives no authority to Scripture. In (John 5:47) says Christ there, "If you believe not Moses' writings, how can you believe my words?" Mark, Christ would have the authority of his words much to be strengthened by the writings that were before…

And this, I suppose, we cannot better be instructed in, than by considering, what was answered to it by Christ himself, his Apostles, and those that succeeded them in the profession of the faith of the Gospel. (1) For Christ himself; it is certain he pleaded his miracles, the wo…

But insofar as He stood forth as the Head of the church, Mediator, and the apostle of our confession delegated by the Father, He knew only those things (namely, in that nature in which He Himself performed the entire mediatorial office) which were given and revealed to Him by th…
