All the blessings purchased and bought by Christ’s blood, are bequeathed to us, and left, by him that shed it. Christ’s blood is a testamentary bequeathing blood: and believers in their coming to the throne of grace may come as suers for the execution and fulfilment of the last will and testament of our Lord Jesus. For Christ by his death turned the gospel and new covenant into a testament, Heb. ix. 15, 16, 17.

His death confirms his testament. His last will is, that all the blessings his blood purchased, might be secured and laid up for, and in due time given forth to them they were purchased for, and bequeathed to. The whole legacy of grace and glory, and all the legatees, are and were well known to the testator and executor, (though not to us particularly); and the testament will be punctually fulfilled.
