Is Christ's fulness our store and treasure? It is only received and lived upon by faith. Is he our living bread? He is only received and lived upon by faith. Doth his blood cleanse from all sin? No application to be made to it but by faith. Is Christ our new and living way, by which we may at all times have liberty and free access to the Father? Why, there is no drawing nigh but by faith. Doth the royal law of Christ call for holiness both in heart, lip, and life? There is no true evangelic holiness and purity of heart, but as faith dealeth with the blood of sprinkling: which blood, when thus apprehended and applied, hath a healing, as well as cleansing virtue in, and a powerful influence upon the heart; so as to promote gospel-holiness and purity of life, without which none shall see God.
