The best idea that you may never heard
The solemn transactions between God and man, are sometimes called a
covenant, here a testament, which is a willing deed of a person,
bestowing legacies on such persons as are described, and it only takes
effect upon his death. Thus Christ died, not only to obtain the
blessings of salvation for us, but to give power to the disposal of
them. All, by sin, were become guilty before God, had forfeited every
thing that is good; but God, willing to show the greatness of his mercy,
proclaimed a covenant of grace. Nothing could be clean to a sinner, not
even his religious duties; except as his guilt was done away by the
death of a sacrifice, of value sufficient for that end, and unless he
continually depended upon it. May we ascribe all real good works to the
same all-procuring cause, and offer our spiritual sacrifices as
sprinkled with Christ's blood, and so purified from their defilement.
