Christ is of a mean estate and small repute.
In adversities we should show ourselves like men, and pluck up good spirits. Our whole life should be manly; we should fear God and put our trust in him. Faith maketh us Christ's heritage. We should aim at celestial honour, and not regard the contemning of men. Christ spareth us out of mere grace through the Word. The Gospel is altogether joyful. Grace condemneth all people's own righteousness. Salvation is purchased and given unto us without our deserts. Regeneration is the work only of the Holy Ghost. Human reason cannot comprehend nor understand the goodness and benefits of God. Good works are the seals and proofs of faith; for, even as a letter must have a seal to strengthen the same, even so faith must have good works. |
