The display of glorious grace, or, The covenant of peace opened in fourteen sermons lately preached, in which the errors of the present day about reconciliation and justification are detected / by Benjamin Keach.

SERMON VII. Shewing the Nature of the Proclamati∣on of the Gospel, and the Terms thereof.

ISA. Liv. x.

Neither shall the Covenant of my Peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.

Doct. THAT there is a Covenant of Peace, made or agreed on, and stands firm in the behalf of all God's Elect.

We shewed you that this Peace is proclaimed.

1. What the Proclamation is?

2. Who the Ambassadors are that Christ hath appointed to proclaim it. I shall now proceed to the next thing under this Head.

3. I shall open the Nature of this Proclamati∣on. And then,

4. Shew you the Terms upon which Peace is of∣fered.

Would you know what is contained in this Proclamation?

First, Then know it contains a clear and full Declaration of all those Covenant Trans∣actions between the Father and the Son, about

the Restoration of lost Sinners before the World began; the Gospel reveals those Myste∣ries that were hid from Ages and Generations: It is called, The Revelation of the Mysteries which were kept secret since the World began: Not on∣ly that Mystery that the Gentiles should be Fel∣low Heirs of the Inheritance, but the Mystery of the Covenant, Purpose, and Design of God; and also of the Incarnation, Life, Death, Resur∣rection, Ascention, and Intercession of Jesus Christ. I say, it contains the Revelation of the Mystery of these things, and not only the History of them.

I. It reveals that Infinite Love, Mercy, Grace, and Goodness of God 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to lost and undone Sinners, which astonisheth the ve∣ry Angels of God to behold; To make all Men see what is the Fellowship of the Mystery, which from the beginning of the World hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: To the intent, that now unto the Principalities and Powers in Heavenly places, might be known by the Church, the manifold Wisdom of God. The Good Angels are not Teachers of these Mysteries, but Learners and Admirers of them; the Go∣spel is to them as a Mirror, or Looking-glass, to behold and contemplate the Divine Wis∣dom of God in every appearance of it, but e∣specially in this the last and great Revelation thereof.

II. It reveals the great Love of God the Fa∣ther. In this was manifested the Love of God to∣wards us, because that God sent his only begotten Son, that we might live through him: That he

might die to raise us to Life; to be Crown'd with Thorns, that we might be Crown'd with Glory; to be made a Curse for us, that we might be made the Blessing of God in him; there could be no higher demonstration of God's Love than this is.

III. It reveals the Love of Christ, which hath a Breadth, a Length, a Depth, and a Heighth in it, and passeth Knowledge; Is it not an amazing Declaration, or Revelation of the Infinite Love of Jesus Christ our Lord? Who tho he was God, should condescend to die for such vile Rebels, and wretched Sinners as we were; Hereby perceive we the Love of God, because he laid down his Life for us, from that near and in∣timate Union between the Divine and Humane Nature in the Person of Christ: Christ's Life is here called the Life of God, as elsewhere his Blood is called the Blood of God. God is said to purchase the Church with his own Blood.

IV. This Proclamation is a Declaration, or a Revelation that God in Christ is reconciled to his Elect; that is, the Price is paid, tho the Blood may not be yet sprinkled: When we were Enemies, we were reconciled to God by the Death of his Son: Through the Blood of his Cross, God is satisfied, and his Wrath is appeased, that the Atonement is madefully, perfectly and for ever; by one Sacrifice he hath perfected for ever them that we Sanctified.

V. It doth not only declare, but also pro∣claim this Peace, and Reconciliation; Delive∣rance is proclaimed to the Captives; The Lord hath Anointed me to Preach good Tydings to the

Meek, he hath sent me to bind up the Broken-hearted, to proclaim Liberty to the Captives, and the open∣ing the Prison to them that are bound—To proclaim the acceptable Year of the Lord, &c. or the Year of the Great Jubilee: The Sinner is told, his Debts are paid, requiring him to be∣lieve this; nay, Proclamation is made of Free Pardon, to all that believe, That they shall not perish, but have Everlasting Life; and that God hath received the uttermost Farthing of our vast Debt, and that Christ hath received a Dis∣charge, as our Surety for all the Elect; and that he hath not done what he did in part, or by halfs, but that it is fully, wholly, and compleatly done, and that for ever; our Faith adding nothing to that Satisfaction: The Gospel doth not proclaim a Conditional Peace, or Reconciliation, or that God is only recon∣cilable; so that if the Sinner performs his part, God will be fully reconciled; that is, if the Sinner repents, believes is Regenerated, or answers the Rule of the Promise, as some speak. I know no such Conditional Gospel, or Proclamation; but those Conditions which Jesus Christ was to perform, which was not on∣ly to reconcile God to us, but us also to God: Can that be the Condition of Life on our part which Christ hath engaged in the Covenant to do? viz. to bring us into a State of Peace; Them I must bring—Nay, God hath promised to give us a new Heart, and put a new Spirit in∣to us. Moreover, Christ is exalted to be a Prince, and a Saviour, to give Repentance to Israel, and Remission of Sins.

My Brethren, observe, that the Salvation 〈◊〉〈◊〉 by Christ was antecedent to our Faith, and both were to be performed for us by our Sure∣ty; that is, he was as much obliged to give us Faith, or by his Spirit to apply his Blood, as to pour it forth upon the Cross for us; tho he has ordained the Preaching of the Gospel as an Instrument in and by the Spirit, to work it in our Souls.

Secondly, This Proclamation, it is an Uni∣versal Proclamation.

1. Peace and glad Tidings is to be preached or proclaimed to all the World; Go ye there∣fore into all the World, and Preach the Gospel to every Creature. What is this Gospel? why Peace by Jesus Christ, or that God is reconciled, his Justice satisfied, and his Wrath appeased by the Sacrifice and Obedience of his Son, that being the meritorious, or procuring Cause thereof, and Christ requires them, command∣eth them to believe this? Believe what? Why that God in Christ, through his Death, was re∣conciled to us when we were Ungodly; not that God will be reconciled, and appeased, if we Repent, Believe, are Regenerated, and Baptized, &c. That which remains to be done, (which he will also begin and perform for all the Elect) is the Sinners believing what Jesus Christ hath done; 'tis to receive the Atonement, or to stretch out the Hand of Faith; to receive the Pardon procured by Christ's Blood; not that any Sinner can believe, until the Spirit as a Vital Agent, infuses Grace into him; the Seed must be sown before the Fruit can appear:

Christ gives the Sinner Grace that he may be reconciled unto God, as God in him is recon∣ciled: See Paul's Word, And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us unto himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the Ministry of Re∣conciliation, vers. 18. to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the World to himself; not im∣puting their Trespasses unto them, and hath com∣mitted to us the Word of Reconciliation, vers. 19. Now then we are Ambassadors for Christ, as tho God did beseech you by us, we pray you in Christ's stead be ye reconciled unto God: God, by the Blood of his Son, was reconciled to us, (that being the Meritorious Price, or Atoning Sacri∣fice) and by the Spirit his Blood is actually ap∣plied and made effectual, or efficacious unto us, to our Reconciliation to God; We pray you be ye reconciled, &c. that is, we pray you to receive the Atonement Christ hath made, or believe the Record God hath given of his Son; i. e. be∣lieve there is Life in him, that God is satisfied in him, and reconciled in him: if this, my Brethren, be not the Nature of the Gospel, or of this Blessed Proclamation, I profess, I know not what it is.

II. And as Peace is Universally to be pro∣claimed to all Nations, or in all Parts of the World, whither God, by his Providence, is pleased to send the Gospel.

So also, in respect to all sorts of Sins, and Sinners, i. e. Pardon is proclaimed of all kind of Sins, and free Forgiveness and Peace in Christ, is offered to all manner of Sinners, Re∣bels, and Traitors to God, whatsoever they

are, not one Sin excepted, save only, the Sin against the Holy Ghost; in some Proclamations, or Acts of Indemnity, many Crimes are ex∣cepted, as Murther, High-Treason, Fellony, and the like, but it is not so here; for whosoever they are, tho never such horrid Blasphemers, haters of God, Traytors to him, and Rebels against him, if they come in, and accept of Peace, and lay hold of the King's Grace, hum∣bly believing in Jesus Christ, or throwing them∣selves at his Feet, all their Treasons, Murthers, Fellonies, Blasphemy, Adultery, Drunkenness, Swearing, Idolatry, Heresie, Sodomy, Incest, Bug∣gery, Covetousness, Lying, Thieving, Back-bit∣ing, Cheating, Backsliding, or whatever else they have done, all shall be forgiven, forgot∣ten, and passed by for ever, as I told you be∣fore; yea, tho they have done all the evil things as they could, Will he reserve his Anger for ever, will he keep it to the end; behold thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest: Tho this People had committed Adultery, Idola∣try, and had rejected the True God, and wor∣shipped Idols, and dealt most treacherously with the God of Heaven and Earth; yet see what the Lord says; Go and proclaim these Words towards the North, and say, Return thou Back∣sliding Israel, saith the Lord: That is, Believe, plead your Pardon in and by the Blood of my Son, and I will not cause mine Anger to fall upon you, for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep Anger for ever: God out of Christ, is a consuming Fire, but in him a reconciled God; only acknowledge thine Iniquity.

What Proclamation can be more free, or universal than this is?

Object. If Christ is to be offered to all, or Peace proclaimed unto all, is there then not Ʋni∣versal Redemption purchased by him?

1 Answ. Redemption is a Word that denotes Persons were in Slavery, or Bondage, for whom a Price is paid, and they therefore are set at Liberty: Suppose Ten Men were Slaves in Al∣gier, and a Thousand Pound was paid down to Redeem them all, and yet but four were actual∣ly Redeemed, is it true to say all the Ten were Redeemed?

So here, Is it true to say, That the Redem∣ption by Christ is Universal, when the greatest part of the World were never Redeemed, but remain under the Power of Sin and Satan? That Redemption which is by Jesus Christ, is from Sin, from the Guilt, Power, and Punish∣ment thereof: And are all Men in the World thus Redeemed? 'Tis not a Redemption only from the Curse of the Law, and Wrath of God, but also fom all Iniquity; Who gave himself for us, that he might Redeem us from all Iniquity, and purifie unto himself a peculiar People, zealous of Good Works: And are all thus Redeemed?

2. If Christ laid down his Life to Redeem every Man and Woman in the World, hath he his whole Purchase? A Man would think him∣self cheated, or strangely deceived, that laid down a Thousand Pounds to Redeem Ten Men, when he finds there are not above Three or Four indeed actually Redeemed; this renders Christ's Blood spilt in vain for the greatest

part for whom it was shed, or whom he intend∣ed to Redeem thereby, and so he is deceived, or disappointed.

3. There can be no Universal Redemption, unless Christ were a Universal Redeemer, but Christ is not a Universal Redeemer, Millions of Souls are left under the Power of Sin, and dominion of Satan.

4. Will a Man lay down Ten Thousand Pounds, to purchase such or such an Estate, and will he refuse to part with Ten Pounds to take up that Estate to make it sure to himself?

Brethren, the Gift of Christ for us, i. e. his laying down his Life is far the greater Gift; and will he do this, and not give the Gospel to many Nations, nor Faith to believe and re∣ceive him, and yet died for them all? See how Paul argues, Rom. 5.10. Chap. 8.32.

5. Or would Jesus Christ die for the whole World, and yet refuse to pray for them, that they may all be saved? See Joh. 17.9. The Repro∣bate World he prayed not for; yet he prayed for all that should be saved: Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their Words; that World, Christ is a Propitiation for their Sins; or had made their Peace with God, for he died for—Even that World which he takes away the Sins of, he died for, and that All which he draws to him∣self by his Spirit, he died for on the Cross, he taketh away the Sin of the World by bearing it himself, or by satisfying for the Sins there∣of; He was made Sin for us, that knew no Sin, that we might be made the Righteousness of God in

him: He made a Plenary Satisfaction to the Ju∣stice of God, for the Sins of this whole World, and obtained plenary Remission and Grace by his Blood, that we might be Redeemed from a vain Conversation: The Elect, before Calling, are as much the World as any others; yea, and the best part of it too. Moreover, by A Me∣tonomy [All] is put for a part, frequently in the Scripture. God so loved the World, that he gave his only Begotten Son; that is, God so loved Sinful Mankind, both Jews and Gentiles, That whosoever believeth on him might not perish, but have everlasting Life.

Object. We do not plead for an absolute Ʋniver∣sal Redemption, but for a Conditional one; that is, so that if all Repent, act Faith, are Regenera∣ted, obey Christ, and are Holy and continue so to the End, they shall be saved.

Answ. Is this Gospel? Doth the Proclama∣tion of Peace run thus?

1. I argue then that Christ is but a Conditi∣onal Redeemer, and hath only made a Conditi∣onal Peace; i. e. he made our Peace, and paid our Debts upon this Condition, viz. That we Repent, change our own Hearts, or are Regenerated, and get Faith, and sincere Obe∣dience, and continue Holy and Obedient to the end.

2. Moreover, this Notion of a Conditional Peace, and Redemption, renders our Salvation not to be of God's Free Grace alone, through that Redemption that is in Jesus Christ, but that we procure our Peace, or make it with God our selves, with our own Money, i. e. by

our Repentance, Faith, Holiness, and final Perse∣verance; and that Christ only merited or pur∣chased this Grant, that our Money, i. e. our Faith, Obedience, &c. should go for good Coin in Heaven, and procure our Justification, Peace, and Eternal Life for us—And thus the Glory that we are saved would not belong to God and Jesus Christ alone; true, that we might be saved, we may thank God and Christ; God, by the Death of his Son, is made reconcilable, but that we are saved, we may thank our selves, Christ doing no more for us that are saved, than he did for them that perish—but on∣ly we had more Wit and Care than they had; i. e. for by improving our common Grace, God was obliged to give us his Special Grace.

3. After this Notion Christ might be, or might not be a Redeemer at all; our Peace might, or might not be made with God, be∣cause it wholly dependeth upon the Will of Man, Man's Will determines the Issue of the whole matter, not that Christ undertook to how our Wills, or reconcile us to God; no, but that we our selves must Answer the Con∣dition of Repentance, Faith, Obedience, &c. or else all that Christ hath done is lost, and comes to nothing; and why might not all refuse to do this as well as some, who never will believe, &c.

Christ shall be a Redeemer, and make our Peace if we please; this puts a Bar to the Pur∣chaser (as one observes) a Man can't in any good sense be called a Redeemer of such Per∣sons out of Slavery, till the Persons perform

those Conditions, upon which he laid down the Price: As for Example, (saith he)

I lay down an Hundred Pounds for the Redemption of a Person in Slavery, upon this Condition, that he yield to serve me Seven Years after; I must have his Consent before I can Redeem him; and therefore upon these Conditions I am certainly suspended from being a Redeemer; nay, and am no Redeemer of such Persons, if they refuse the Terms:

So that for Christ to be an Universal Redeemer, is a Contradiction; for it is to be a Redeemer of all, if they please, but can be a Redeemer of none but of such that consented to the Terms proposed.

4. Besides, this casteth horrid Reproach up∣on the Son of God, as if he had done some great thing for us, in dying and making our Peace; when indeed, according to this Noti∣on, he doth but deceive poor Creatures; for he has made their Peace and Redeemed them if they will but get out of Satan's Hands, and break his Chains and Bonds in pieces, and raise themselves from the Dead, and change their own Hearts, &c. whereas he knew we were no more able to do this, than to create a new World. Therefore, Brethren, pray observe; we affirm, that whatsoever Conditions were agreed upon in the Covenant of Peace, our Lord Jesus Christ undertook to do and perform them all, both for us, and also in us; I will give them a new Heart, I will take away the Stony Heart, and I will give them a Heart of Flesh, I will put my Fear into their Hearts, and they shall not depart from me. I will Circumcise their

Hearts to love the Lord their God—He that hath begun a good Work in you, will perform it to the Day of Christ, who were born not of Flesh, nor of Blood, nor of the Will of Man, but of God. To believe is our Duty, but 'tis Christ that gives us Grace and Power so to do; and this Grace was also purchased for us by his Blood; He is exalted at God's Right Hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, to give Repentance, &c. And Faith also is the Gift of God, Eph. 2.8.

5. Moreover, Who can believe that Christ would shed his Blood for such whom he knew would never answer those Conditions which these Men speak of? besides, they being Con∣ditions out of their power to perform.

6. Moreover I might argue thus, i. e. If Christ died for all, he intended to save all, but he never intended to save all, therefore he di∣ed not for all: Who shall frustrate his Purpose, or Intention?

7. That Purchase of Peace and Remission of Sins that leaves many Man under a certainty to be Damned, is not to be esteemed a Redemp∣tion at all.

8. Moreover, Christ's Death and Resurrecti∣on shall have its full and proper Effects, for whom, or in whose stead he died: See Joh. 12.23, 24.

9. If there be the same Eternal and Un∣changeable Cause of the Price of the Redemp∣tion, as of the Application to the same Per∣sons, then whosoever his Blood was shed for, shall have the Vertue thereof applied to them; whatsoever is not efficient is not suffici∣ent

to attain the End thereof: See a late Treatise.

Object. If this be so, why is the Proclamation so Ʋniversal?

1 Answ. Because no sort of Sins, nor Sin∣ners by Name, are excepted, or exempted: Who can say, he was not included in this Co∣venant of Peace to whom the Gospel comes?

2. Because Ministers know not but that eve∣ry one to whom they Preach, may be compre∣hended in this Covenant, or in the Election of Grace.

3. Because if any sort of Sinners were ex∣cepted, unless God should discover them by Name, who were included, Multitudes might utterly despair.

4. The Proclamation doth not run to all otherwise than thus, viz. He that Believeth, he that comes to Christ, &c. or that believes the Record God hath given of his Son, or that receives the Atonement, or believes the Te∣stimony of the Gospel: See Mark 16.16. Joh. 3.36.

This brings me to the next thing.

Fourthly, What are the Terms upon which Peace is offered and proclaimed?

The Terms on which Peace is proclaimed, run thus, viz.

1. That whosoever it is that believeth, shall be saved: True, if Faith was not the Gift of God, but the Condition agreed on, as required of the Creature by his own power to act and exercise, it would not only be hard, but im∣possible, because Faith must be wrought in our

Hearts by the same Power that raised Christ from the Dead; but he that calls dead Lazarus to rise from the Dead, is able to quicken, and by his commanding Voice, to raise the Soul, dead in Sins and Trespasses: The Gospel in the Hand of the Spirit is a mighty Instrument of Christ's Power in the begetting or working of Faith in poor Sinners.

2. The Proclamation runs to him that thirst∣eth: Oh, every one that thirsteth come to the Wa∣ters, &c. Jesus stood up and cryed, If any Man thirst, let him come to me and drink: This thirst∣ing may refer to thirsting after Happiness, de∣siring to be saved; yet others think it is a Thirst begotten in the Soul by the Spirit; from the sight and sense of the Excellencies that Siners see in Christ, and the Necessity of him, they desire and thirst after him, Faith draws Vertue from Christ, but the Branch cannot draw Sap from the Root, until it is grafted into the Stock; Faith is the Fruit of the Spirit, therefore the Seed must be first sown in our Hearts: And this originally proceeds from our foederal Uni∣on with Christ, in the Covenant of Peace. And Secondly, by our Mystical Union with him by the Spirit; for it is hereby Faith is wrought; Can any thing but evil Fruit grow out of a wild and evil Stock, and Root? all Works be∣fore Grace, are Dead Works, and profit us not.

3. The Terms are to look to Christ; Look to me and be saved, all ye Ends of the Earth: This is all one with Believing; the Israelites that were stung with Fiery Serpents, were to look to

the Brazen Serpent; so Christ is lifted up, that whosoever looketh to him, or that believeth on him, should not perish, but have Everlasting Life.

4. 'Tis made to all them that come to Christ; Come to me all ye that labour, and are heavy la∣den, &c. All that the Father hath given me, shall come unto me; and he that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out.

5. It runs to every one that hears, but it is to such that hear Christ's Voice; Hear, and your Souls shall live: The Dead shall hear the Voice of the Son of God. It is also to every one that will, and whosoever will, let him take the Water of Life freely. Whosoever God hath inclined their Will, or made willing to accept of Peace by Jesus Christ: If any Soul believes in Christ, thirsteth for Christ, looketh to Christ, or com∣eth to Christ, and yet Christ rejecteth him, then charge him with Injustice: But where lives that Man, tho he was never so Vile and Ungodly that did thus, but he found Mercy? O see how Free and Universal the Proclamati∣on is!

Object. 'Tis not so Free, but Ʋnbelief puts in a Bar.

Answ. A Sinful State is no Bar to the Power of God; for what tho some believe not, shall their Ʋnbelief make the Faith of God of none Effect? God forbid.

Object. But Men must be humbled first, before they come, and they must renounce their Idols, &c.

Answ. Grace only humbles; They shall look to me, whom they pierced, and shall mourn: But God first pours upon them the Spirit of Grace, before they can thus look, or mourn: See Zech. 12.10. all previous Qualifications before Grace, are abominable to God, because the State of the Soul is such; and all such things that pro∣ceed not from Faith, God abhorreth; 'tis but a working for Life, and not from Life; Is the Improvement of Common Grace, the Foederal-Condition of geting Special? No surely.

APPLICATION.

1 Infer. From hence we may infer, That in the Covenant of Peace, the Promises of God are Absolute; and that this Absoluteness im∣plies, that all the Conditions that are required on the Creature's part, Grace is promised to them to perform them on God's part, Who works in us to will and to do of his own good Pleasure.

2. This Proclamation is not so Universal, but that it wholly dependeth upon God's So∣vereign Pleasure, who shall reap the Benefit of it: 'Tis sent to one Nation, and not to ano∣ther; God is not obliged to send it to all King∣doms and Nations, nor to all in that Nation whither he is pleased to send it; but if Christ died for all, I mean in the stead of all. to sa∣tisfie Divine Justice for every individual Per∣son, then he would be Unjust in not sending the Gospel to them all—But he must Call all, and be sure he would give all the lesser Gifts, as well as the greater, viz. the Gospel and

Faith, &c. to all, as well as his Son to die for them all, and not let them perish in their Sins and Unbelief, for whom Christ died; for with∣out Faith all Adult Persons must perish; And how shall they believe on him whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a Preacher?

3. This Proclamation offers Free Pardon of all Sins, both past, present, and to come, to all that believe in Jesus Christ: And therefore a final Deliverance from the Curse of the Law, and the Wrath of God, Rom. 8.1.

4. Free Justification by Christ alone, is therein offered also.

5. With a Supply of all Grace to the End, to all them that are in Jesus Christ, Phil. 4.19.

6. It proclaims God to be our Father, and we his Sons and Daughters, upon receiving Je∣sus Christ.

7. Moreover, where any Elect Sinners are, or dwell, thither the Proclamation shall, and must go, to bring them all into the Bonds of the Covenant.

8. And also whosoever receive this wellcome News, shall be saved from Hell, and be Crown∣ed with Glory in Heaven for ever and ever.

9. O Bless God for the Gospel! for the News of Peace, and you Sinners see that you attend upon the Preaching of the Word of Reconcili∣ation, for this way he has ordained to work Faith in you: O! Cry to him to pour out his Spirit and help you to believe; never rest till you have got a Heart, a Will to take of the Water of Life.

10. Terror. But tremble you that reject these Tidings, this Grace, for such that finally do so, shall never have a share of that Peace Christ hath made by his Blood, for on such the Wrath of God abides, and will for ever.—Moreover, he will also make it appear, that Man's De∣struction is of themselves, tho their help is only in him. Dread, least God gives you up to blindness of Mind, and hardness of Heart; nay, leave you also to Temporal Plagues and Judgments, as he dealt by the Jews of old.

11. Comfort. Moreover, here is Comfort to Believers who have heard, and do know the Joyful Sound.

1. They have Interest in this Peace, and have a Title to Heaven by Christ's Righteous∣ness alone.

2. It is also a sign they were beloved from Everlasting, because drawn to Christ, or were Elected before time, because called in time; therefore let all such praise the Holy God. To whom be Glory now and for ever, Amen.
