§. 176. Of calling on God through Iesus Christ.

THe Apostle thus concludes this prayer, Through Iesus Christ. Of the Greek particle translated a 1.1 through, See Ch. 2. v. 9. §. 74.

Of these two Titles, Iesus Christ, joyned together, See Chap. 3. vers. 1 §. 29.

This clause is fitly put in the last place, after the whole prayer, because it may have a just reference to every part of the prayer▪ For God makes us perfect through Iesus Christ; and that which is well pleasing in Gods sight, is so through Iesus Christ. There can be no communion betwixt God and us, but through Iesus Christ. What good thing so ever God doth to us, he doth it through Iesus Christ. What∣soever we do acceptably to God, it must be done through Iesus Christ. God hath made us accepted in the beloved, Eph. 1. 6. This (saith God) is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, (Matth. 3. 17.) God is not only well-pleased with Christ, but al∣so in him; that is, he doth rest so well-pleased with Christ, as whomseover he be∣holdeth in him, he also resteth well-pleased with them. Therefore all the good that God doth to any of his, he doth through Iesus Christ. Hereupon saith Christ, What∣soever ye shall ask the Father in my Name, he will give it you, Joh. 16. 23. And we are exhorted to do all in the Name of the Lord Iesus, Col. 3. 17.

Of praying to God and praising God in and through Iesus Christ, See v. 15. §. 142.
