The terms upon which God in the gospel offers Christ!
(Matthew Mead)
The terms upon which God in the gospel offers Christ, are:
1. That we shall receive a broken Christ with a broken heart.
A broken Christ with a broken heart - s a witness of our humility.
A broken Christ respects His suffering for sin.
A broken heart respects our sense of our sin.
2. That we shall receive a whole Christ with the whole heart.
A whole Christ with a whole heart - s a witness of our sincerity.
A whole Christ includes all of His offices--as King, Priest, Prophet, and Mediator. Without any one of these offices, the work of salvation could not have been completed.
A whole heart includes all our faculties.
