§. 105. Of Christ the meanes to bring us to God.
THe meanes or way here prescribed to come unto God is a 1.1by Christ▪ F•…•… b•…•… Christ only is accesse made to God, Eph. 3. 12. Hereupon this inference i•…•…〈◊〉〈◊〉 upon Christs being our Pri•…•…st, let us therefore come boldly, Heb. 4. 16. And 〈◊〉〈◊〉draw neer, Heb. 10. 22 In this respect he is stiled •…•…he mediator betwixt G•…•…d 〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉, 1 Tim. 2 5. And the way, (Iohn 14. 6.) wherein we may go to God: even 〈◊〉〈◊〉and living way, Heb. 10. 20. and the door, (Iohn 10. 9) whereby we may 〈◊〉〈◊〉•…•…∣trance unto God.
Of the grounds and reasons hereof, see The whole Armour of God. Treat. 3. P•…•…. •…•…. Of Prayer, §. 62.

descriptionPage 203
by themselves alone without Jesus Christ their mediator, as, Jews, Turks, & all man∣•…•… of Pagans, or use other mediators, as Papists do: none of these can have any ac∣•…•…esse •…•…nto God. For there is one mediator, between God and men, the man Christ 〈◊〉〈◊〉, 1 Tim. 2. 5. The word one is there meant exclusively: as if he had said, only 〈◊〉〈◊〉, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 one alone.
2. Hereby let us learn in all our addresses to God to have our eye upon Christ, 〈◊〉〈◊〉•…•…aith fast fixed on him: so may we be sure of a gracious admittance to God▪ •…•…o all therefore in his name. In his name pray, Iohn 16. 23. and give thankes, E•…•…. 5. 20. and all other things, Col. 3. 17.
