Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. For if the blood of bulls, and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternalSpirit offered himself without spot to GOD, purge your conscience from dead works, to serve the living GoD: and for this cause he is the Mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. Heb. 2. 14. and 7. 24, 25. and 9, 13-15. || Gal. 4. 4, 5. Heb. 2. 16. and 4. 14-16.

51. What is the scripture doctrine of the ATONEMEMT ?

But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood; he entered once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls, and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to Gop, purge your conscience from dead works, to serve the living Gop. Surely he hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him striken, smitten of GoD, and afflicted. But he was wounded.

for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. My little children; these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: for he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. Heb. 9. 11-14. Is. 53. 4-6, ! John 2. 1, 2. John 1. 29. Heb. 10. 19-24. 1

Pet. 2. 24. and 3. 18.

52. Was the humiliation of Christ designed to display the glory of God, in the sanctification and salvation of perishing sinners ?

And the word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. And Jesus answered them saying, the hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. Looking unto Jesus the author and the finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of GOD. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. For ye know

the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. John 1. 14. and 12. 23. 27, 28. and 15. 8. Heb. 12. 2, 3. 2 Cor. 8. 9. || Mat. 5. 17. Rom. 5. 19. Heb. 2. 17. Rom. 4. 25. Phil. 2. 5-8.

53. Is Christ King in Zion?

Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. Wherefore

GOD also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. For he must reign till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The Lord said unto my Lord, sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion; rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Acts 5. 31. Phil, 2. 9-11. 1 Cor. 15. 25. Ps. 110. 1, 2. and 2. 6-8. || Rev. 14. 11—16. and 1. 8. and 3. 21. || Ps. 2. 12. 54. Are any of the human race given to Christ in the covenant of redemption?

Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his sced, he

shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life; he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst, All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me,I should lose no thing; but should raise it up at the last day. No man can come unto me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him; and I will raise him' up at the last day. Is. 53. 10, 11. John 6. 35. 37. 39. 44. and 10. 14-16. 26-28. and 17. 6—11. Is. 42. 5-7,

55. Are some of mankind adopted as children and heirs of God?

Blessed be the GoD and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love; having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the Beloved. Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of Gop: therefore the world

1

knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we sons of GoD, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him, purifieth himself even as he is pure. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the Sons of GOD. And if children, then heirs, heirs of GOD, and joint heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Eph. 1. 5-6. 1 John 3. 1-3. Rom. 8. 14, 17.

John 1. 12. Gal. 4, 4—6. 2 Cor. 6. 18. Prov. 3.12. Ps. 103. 13. Prov. 14. 26. Mat, 6. 32. Eph. 2. 19-22.

56. Are those whom "God hath from the beginning chosen to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth," called with an internal holy calling?

Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and love unto all the saints, cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers. That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory may give unto you, the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him. The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to
