Chapter 8

Of Christ the Mediator

1. It pleased God in His eternal purpose, to choose and ordain the Lord Jesus,
His only begotten Son, according to the covenant made between them both,
to be the Mediator between God and man;

Isaiah Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put
42:1 my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

I Peter And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every
1:17 man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
I Peter Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and
1:18 gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
I Peter But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
1:19
I Peter Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in
1:20 these last times for you,
I Peter Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory;
1:21 that your faith and hope might be in God.

the Prophet,

Acts For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you
3:22 of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto
you.

Priest

Hebrews So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto
5:5 him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
Hebrews As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of
5:6 Melchisedec.

and King;

Psalm 2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
Luke He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give
1:32 unto him the throne of his father David:
Luke And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no
1:33 end.

head and Saviour of His church,

Ephesians Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the
1:15 saints,
Ephesians Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
1:16
Ephesians That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit
1:17 of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Ephesians The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope
1:18 of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Ephesians And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to
1:19 the working of his mighty power,
Ephesians Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own
1:20 right hand in the heavenly places,
Ephesians Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is
1:21 named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
Ephesians And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the
1:22 church,
Ephesians Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
1:23

the heir of all things,

Hebrews God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by
1:1 the prophets,
Hebrews Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all
1:2 things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Hebrews Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and
1:3 upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins,
sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Hebrews Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more
1:4 excellent name than they.

and judge of the world;

Acts And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where
17:30 to repent:
Acts Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by
17:31 that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he
hath raised him from the dead.

unto whom He did from all eternity give a people to be His seed, and to be by
Him in time redeemed, called, justified, sanctified, and glorified.

Isaiah Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make
53:10 his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the
pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

John I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine
17:6 they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

Romans Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them
8:30 he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

2. The Son of God, the second person in the Holy Trinity, being very and eternal
God, the brightness of the Father's glory, of one substance, and equal with
Him who made the world, who upholdeth and governeth all things He hath
made; did, when the fulness of time was come, take upon Him man's nature,
with all the essential properties and common infirmities thereof,

John And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory
1:14 as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Galatians Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the
4:3 world:
Galatians But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a
4:4 woman, made under the law,
Galatians To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
4:5

yet without sin;

Romans For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his
8:3 own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Romans That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh,
8:4 but after the Spirit.

Hebrews Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise
2:14 took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of
death, that is, the devil;
Hebrews And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
2:15
Hebrews For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of
2:16 Abraham.
Hebrews Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might
2:17 be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation
for the sins of the people.
Hebrews For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are
2:18 tempted.

Hebrews For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our
4:15 infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

being conceived by the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Virgin Mary, the Holy Spirit
coming down upon her: and the power of the Most High overshadowing her; and so
was made of a woman of the tribe of Judah, of the seed of Abraham and David
according to the Scriptures:

Matthew Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the
1:22 prophet, saying,
Matthew Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his
1:23 name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Luke And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named
1:26 Nazareth,
Luke To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the
1:27 virgin's name was Mary.
Luke And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is
1:28 with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Luke And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner
1:29 of salutation this should be.
Luke And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
1:30
Luke And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his
1:31 name JESUS.
Luke He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give
1:32 unto him the throne of his father David:
Luke And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no
1:33 end.
Luke Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
1:34
Luke And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the
1:35 power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be
born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

so that two whole, perfect, and distinct natures, were inseparably joined together in
one person, without conversion, composition, or confusion; which person is very God
and very man, yet one Christ, the only mediator between God and man.

Romans For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen
9:3 according to the flesh:
Romans Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants,
9:4 and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
Romans Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over
9:5 all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

I Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ
Jesus;
I Timothy 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

3. The Lord Jesus in His human nature thus united to the divine, in the person of
the Son, was sanctified, and anointed with the Holy Spirit, above measure;

Psalm Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed
45:7 thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Acts The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he
10:36 is Lord of all:)
Acts That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from
10:37 Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
Acts How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went
10:38 about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

John For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by
3:34 measure unto him.

having in Him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge;

Colossians For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at
2:1 Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
Colossians That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches
2:2 of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God,
and of the Father, and of Christ;
Colossians In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
2:3

in whom it pleased the Father, that all fullness should dwell

Colossians For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
1:19
Colossians And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all
1:20 things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in
heaven.

to the end, that being holy, harmless, undefiled,

Heb For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners,
7:26 and made higher than the heavens;
Heb Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins,
7:27 and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

and full of grace, and truth,

John And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory
1:14 as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
 He might be thoroughly furnished to execute the office of a mediator, and surety;

Hebrews And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:

7:20
Hebrews (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said
7:21 unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order
of Melchisedec:)
Hebrews By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
7:22

which office He took not upon Himself, but was thereunto called by His Father;

Hebrews So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto
5:5 him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.

who also put all power and judgement in His hand, and gave Him commandment
to execute the same.

John For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
5:22
John That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not
5:23 the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
John Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me,
5:24 hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto
life.
John Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear
5:25 the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
John For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
5:26
John And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
5:27

Matthew And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in
28:18 heaven and in earth.

Acts Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus,
2:36 whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
 4. This office the Lord Jesus did most willingly undertake,

Psalm 40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
Psalm 40:8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

Hebrews Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou
10:5 wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
Hebrews In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
10:6
Hebrews Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will,
10:7 O God.
Hebrews Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin
10:8 thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
Hebrews Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may
10:9 establish the second.
Hebrews By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ
10:10 once for all.

John No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I
10:18 have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

which that He might discharge He was made under the law,

Galatians Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the
4:3 world:
Galatians But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a
4:4 woman, made under the law,
Galatians To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
4:5

Matthew But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to
3:14 me?
Matthew And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to
3:15 fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
and did perfectly fulfil it, and underwent the punishment due to us, which we should
have borne and suffered,

Galatians Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is
3:13 written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Galatians That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that
3:14 we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Isaiah All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the
53:6 LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

I Peter For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us
3:18 to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
I Peter By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
3:19
I Peter Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the
3:20 days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved
by water.

being made sin and a curse for us;

II Corinthians For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made
5:21 the righteousness of God in him.

enduring most grievous sorrows in His soul; and most painful sufferings in His body;

Matthew And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful
26:37 and very heavy.
Matthew Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye
26:38 here, and watch with me.

Luke And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great
22:44 drops of blood falling down to the ground.

Matthew Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
27:45
Matthew And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama
27:46 sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

was crucified, and died, and remained in the state of the dead; yet saw no
corruption:

Acts For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and
13:36 was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
Acts But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
13:37

on the third day He arose from the dead,

I Corinthians For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ
15:3 died for our sins according to the scriptures;
I Corinthians And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the
15:4 scriptures:
I Corinthians And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
15:5
I Corinthians After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the
15:6 greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.

with the same body in which he suffered;

John The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto
20:25 them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print
of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
John And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came
20:26 Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
John Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither
20:27 thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

with which He also ascended into heaven;

Mark So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat
16:19 on the right hand of God.
Acts And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud
1:9 received him out of their sight.
Acts And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by
1:10 them in white apparel;
Acts Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus,
1:11 which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him
go into heaven.

and there sitteth on the right hand of His Father, making intercession;

Romans Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is
8:34 even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Hebrews For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures
9:24 of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
Hebrews Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy
9:25 place every year with blood of others;
Hebrews For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once
9:26 in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

and shall return to judge men and angels at the end of the world.

Acts And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was
10:42 ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.

Romans For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of
14:9 the dead and living.
Romans But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for
14:10 we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

Acts And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by
1:10 them in white apparel;
Acts Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus,
1:11 which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him
go into heaven.
II Peter For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered
2:4 them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
II Peter And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of
2:5 righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
II Peter And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an
2:6 overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
II Peter And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
2:7
II Peter (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous
2:8 soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
II Peter The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust
2:9 unto the day of judgment to be punished:
II Peter But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise
2:10 government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of
dignities.

5. The Lord Jesus, by His perfect obedience and sacrifice of Himself, which He
through the eternal Spirit once offered up unto God, hath fully satisfied the
justice of God,

Hebrews For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the
9:13 unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
Hebrews How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered
9:14 himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the
living God?

Hebrews For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
10:14

Romans But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by
3:21 the law and the prophets;
Romans Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all
3:22 them that believe: for there is no difference:
Romans For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
3:23
Romans Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
3:24
Romans Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his
3:25 righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Romans To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier
3:26 of him which believeth in Jesus.
 procured reconciliation, and purchased an everlasting inheritance in the kingdom
of heaven, for all those whom the Father hath given unto Him.

John These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is
17:1 come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
John As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as
17:2 thou hast given him.

Hebrews For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean,
9:13 sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
Hebrews How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered
9:14 himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the
living God?
Hebrews And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for
9:15 the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are
called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

6. Although the price of redemption was not actually paid by Christ, till after His
incarnation, yet the virtue, efficacy, and benefit thereof was communicated to
the elect in all ages successively, from the beginning of the world, in and by
those promises, types, and sacrifices, wherein He was revealed, and signified
to be the seed of the woman which should bruise the serpent's head;

I Corinthians We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are
4:10 strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.

Hebrews For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did
4:2 not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

I Peter Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied
1:10 of the grace that should come unto you:
I Peter Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did
1:11 signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should
follow.

and the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world:

Revelation And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in
13:8 the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

being the same yesterday, and today, and for ever.

Hebrews Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
13:8

7. Christ, in the work of mediation, acteth according to both natures, by each

nature doing that which is proper to itself; yet by reason of the unity of the
person, that which is proper to one nature, is sometimes in Scripture,
attributed to the person denominated by the other nature.

John And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the
3:13 Son of man which is in heaven.

Acts Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost
20:28 hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his
own blood.

8. To all those for whom Christ hath obtained eternal redemption, He doth
certainly and effectually apply, and communicate the same; making
intercession for them;

John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no
wise cast out.

John As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the
10:15 sheep.
John And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall
10:16 hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

John 17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for
they are thine.
Romans For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son,
5:10 much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

uniting them to Himself by His Spirit; revealing unto them, in and by the Word, the
mystery of salvation; persuading them to believe, and obey;

John I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine
17:6 they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

Ephesians In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according
1:7 to the riches of his grace;
Ephesians Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
1:8
Ephesians Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure
1:9 which he hath purposed in himself:
Ephesians That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all
1:10 things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
Ephesians In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the
1:11 purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
Ephesians That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
1:12

I John And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we
5:20 may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ.
This is the true God, and eternal life.

governing their hearts by His Word and Spirit,

Romans But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.
8:9 Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Romans For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
8:14
and overcoming all their enemies by His almighty power and wisdom;

Psalm A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I
110:1 make thine enemies thy footstool.

I Corinthians 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
I Corinthians 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

in such manner and ways as are most consonant to His wonderful, and unsearchable
dispensation; and all of free and absolute grace, without any condition forseen in
them, to procure it.

John The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell
3:8 whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Ephesians In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according
1:7 to the riches of his grace;
Ephesians Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
1:8
Ephesians Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure
1:9 which he hath purposed in himself:
Ephesians That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all
1:10 things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
Ephesians In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the
1:11 purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
Ephesians That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
1:12

9. This office of Mediator between God and man is proper only to Christ, who is
the prophet, priest, and king of the church of God; and may not be, either in
whole, or any part thereof, transferred from Him to any other.

I Timothy For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
2:5
I Timothy Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
2:6
 10. 10. This number and order of offices is necessary; for in respect of our
ignorance we stand in need of His prophetical office;

John No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the
1:18 Father, he hath declared him.

and in respect of our alienation from God, and imperfection of the best of our
services, we need His priestly office, to reconcile us, and present us acceptable unto
God;

Colossians And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works,
1:21 yet now hath he reconciled
Colossians In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and
1:22 unreproveable in his sight:
Colossians If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the
1:23 hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature
which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
Colossians Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the
1:24 afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:
Colossians Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given
1:25 to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
Colossians Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is
1:26 made manifest to his saints:
Colossians To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery
1:27 among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Colossians Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that
1:28 we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
Colossians Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me
1:29 mightily.

Galatians For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are
5:17 contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

and in respect of our averseness, and utter inability to return to God, and for our
rescue, and security from our spiritual adversaries, we need His kingly office, to
convince, subdue, draw, uphold, deliver, and preserve us to His heavenly kingdom.

John 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of
judgment:
John 16:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
John Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
16:10
John Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
16:11

Psalm Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the
110:3 womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.

Luke And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
1:67
Luke Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
1:68
Luke And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
1:69
Luke As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
1:70
Luke That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
1:71
Luke To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
1:72
Luke The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
1:73
Luke That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies
1:74 might serve him without fear,
Luke In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
1:75
