§. 93. Of boldnesse in going to God.
THe manner of going to God is thus expressed, boldly: word for word * 1.1〈◊〉〈◊〉boldnosse, or confidence. Of this word, See Chap. 3. v. 6. §. 61.
It is here opposed to distrustfulnesse and fearfulnesse. According to the •…•…∣tion of the originall word it implieth a free uttering of a mans whole minde, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 craving whatsoever may and ought to be asked of God.
This is indeed a great priviledge: but yet no other then what we may 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Christ our great Highpriest lay claim unto: and in all our wants freely and •…•…∣rantably use.
The main point is implied under these phrases, Ask, seek, knock, Matth. 7. 7. Open thy mouth wide, Psal. 81. 10. Especially under these qualifications, draw near in 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of faith, Heb. 10. 22. Ask in faith, nothing wavering, Jam. 1. 6. These phrases import such chearfulnesse and confidence as may remove fear and dread of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and vengeance, and make us without staggering rest upon Gods gracious accepting our persons and granting our desires. For Christ our Priest hath done to the full whatsoever is requisite to satisfie justice, pacifie wrath, procure favour, and obtain acceptance: on which grounds we may well go▪ to God with an holy boldnesse and confidence. See more hereof, Chap. 3. v. 6. §. 61. in the end.
