This, then, for the present, may suffice in general to be
spoken of the personal grace of the Lord Christ:— He hath a fitness to
save, having pity and ability, tenderness and power, to carry on that work
to the uttermost; and a fulness to save, of redemption and sanctification,
of righteousness and the Spirit; and a suitableness to the wants of all our
souls: whereby he becomes exceedingly desirable, yea, altogether lovely; as
afterward will appear in particular. And as to this, in the first place,
the saints have distinct fellowship with the Lord Christ; the manner
whereof shall be declared in the ensuing chapter.
