There is no reason to suspect Christ's ability, or sufficiency to save us, seeing God hath set him forth as a propitiation. The great and good God would not delude us with an insufficient atonement; nor can it be presumption, by faith, to receive and rest upon this atonement; seeing God has appointed and declared, that such as have faith in Christ's blood, shall find him to be a propitiation? Will God ever refuse that atonement, which is of his own appointment, and which he himself hath set before us as an object of faith? Or, is there any room to suppose, that God will reject that faith in Christ's blood which he hath thus recommended and required? Surely this would be inconsistent with his veracity and truth—his goodness and grace towards believers.
