things are passed away, behold, all
things are become new" There il q
complete renewal Of the nature; there
needs TO be no second work Of grace,
distinct and separate from regenera'
ton in the way of renewal. Regene
ration is a complete work, so far al
our nature is concerned. Old thing'
are passed away, behold, all things are
become new.
2. The moral image Of God is re
stored. Col. iii, 10, eye have put of
the old man, with his deeds, and have
put on the new man, which is renew
ep in knowledge after the image OF
HIM who created him. Eph. Nv "a,
And that ye put on the new man.
which after God is created in righte-
business and true holiness Both Of
these passages teach that the new
man, the regeneratedl man, we have
received in regeneration, is in the i'm
age Of God. As child is TO bear the
image Of its father, 80 when we are
born of God we have his image upon
our nature; and the admonition in
these texts is to put on this new man
in the outward life-live as the new
man should. "Put of the old man
with his deeds" "Put on the new
man"
8. The rcgenersted man is sane
tilted man. Mr.. Watson says in hi
Theological Institutes, p. $40. "Th'
regeperated state is also called IL
Scripture sancti6cation. though a
distinction is made between that ant
being sancti6ed WHOLLY. Cor. ! 81
But Of Him are ye in Christ Jesus
who is made unto Us wisdom anC
