The Christian in
truth.
THat which forms, es∣sentiates,
or consti∣tutes
the true Christian, is the
Spirit of Jesus Christ, that
which is born of the Spirit is
Spirit, so as a man is a Chri∣stian
from birth, as he is
born a man, so he is born a
Christian, both are from
birth, and seed, the one of
flesh, the other of Spirit.
The Christian is one, who
is of the second Adam, as all
men are of the first, and the
second man is the quickning
spirit, the Lord from heaven,
and so are they that are hea∣venly.
descriptionPage 103
The Christian is one, in
whom Christ is formed or fi∣gured
(as the Greek word
implies) one that bears the
image of the heavenly man,
who is the Image of Iesus
Christ, as Jesus Christ is the
Image of the invisible
God.
The Christian is one, who
hath the incorruptible seed
in him, or the word which li∣veth
and abideth for ever,
which word is the Lord Jesus
Christ who quickens the
Saint, and is the life of the
Saint, you hath he quickned
who were dead in trespasses and
sins.
The Christian is one, who
is in fellowship and conformity
with Jesus Christ in his cru∣cifyings,
death, and resurrecti∣on,
in whom the flesh, and
descriptionPage 104
life of the flesh must dye, as
it did in him, and the Chri∣stian,
as Christ did, must live
in Spirit to God.
The Christian is one, who
is the new creature, or new
man, for he that sits upon the
Throne in his Spirit saith,
behold I make all things, all
new,old things in him, as
corruptions and lusts do pass
away.
