6. It is our part, thus to _preach Christ_, by preaching all things whatsoever he hath revealed. We may indeed without blame, yea, and with a peculiar blessing from God, declare the love of our Lord Jesus Christ. We may speak, in a more especial manner, _of the Lord our righteousness_. We may expatiate upon the grace of _God in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself_. We may, at proper opportunities, dwell upon his praise, as bearing _the iniquities of us all, as wounded for our transgressions_ and _bruised for our iniquities_, that _by his stripes we_ might _be healed_. But still we should not _preach Christ_, according to his word, if we were wholly to confine ourselves to this. We are not ourselves clear before God, unless we proclaim him in all his offices. _To preach Christ_, as a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, is to preach him not only as our great _High-priest, taken from among men, and ordained for men, in things pertaining to God_; as such, _reconciling us to God by his blood_, and _ever living to make intercession for us_: but likewise as the prophet of the Lord, _who of God is made unto us wisdom_. Who by his word, and his Spirit, _is with us always, guiding us into all truth_: yea, and as remaining a King for ever; as giving laws to all whom he has bought with his blood: as restoring those to the image of God, whom he had first re-instated in his favour: as reigning in all believing hearts, until he has _subdued all things to himself_; until he hath utterly cast out all sin, and _brought in everlasting righteousness_. II. 1. _We establish the law_, secondly, when we so preach faith in Christ, as not to supersede, but produce holiness: to produce all manner of holiness, negative and positive, of the heart and of the life. In order to this, we continually declare (what should be frequently and deeply considered, by all who would not _make void the law thro’ faith_) that faith itself, even Christian faith, the faith of God’s elect, the faith of the operation of God, still is only the hand-maid of love. As glorious and honourable as it is, it is not the end of the commandment. God hath given this honour to love alone: love is the end of all the commandments of God. Love is the end, the sole end of every dispensation of God, from the beginning of the world, to the consummation of all things. And it will endure when heaven and earth flee away; for _love_ alone _never faileth_. Faith will totally fail: it will be swallowed up in sight, in the everlasting vision of God. But even then love “Its nature and its office still the same, Lasting its lamp and unconsum’d its flame, In deathless triumph shall for ever live, And endless good diffuse, and endless praise receive.”
