(1.) For those helps and aids God affords us, viz. the Gospel, Joh. 1. 17. and the influences of his Spirit, 1 Cor. 12. 9. In this sense we are deliver'd from the state of Nature by Baptism, viz. We are intitled to divine helps, which is a kind of regeneration; for we are born in a condition of impotence, and weakness, and destitution of spiritual assistances; This is the world of meer nature; But then in Baptism, we are brought into the world of the Spirit, that is, are put under its influences, and are assured of its aids, and so are morally born again; Not that this Regeneration alone will save us, without our endeavours; |
