Matthew 26:26-2926 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, 28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.”

Paragraph 5God continues to forgive the sins of those that are justified,14 and although they can never fall from the state of justification,15 yet they may, by their sins, fall under God’s fatherly displeasure;16 and in that condition they usually do not have the light of his countenance restored to them, until they humble themselves, confess their sins, beg pardon, and renew their faith and repentance.1714 Matt. 6:12, 1 John 1:7,915 John 10:2816 Ps. 89:31–3317 Ps. 32:5, Ps. 51, Matt. 26:75Paragraph 6The justification of believers under the Old Testament was, in all these respects, one and the same with the justification of believers under the New Testament.1818 Gal. 3:9; Rom. 4:22–24

Paragraph 4God did from all eternity decree to justify all the elect,11 and Christ did in the fullness of time die for their sins, and rise again for their justification;12 nevertheless, they are not justified personally, until the Holy Spirit in time does actually apply Christ to them.1311 Gal. 3:8, 1 Pet. 1:2, 1 Tim. 2:612 Rom. 4:2513 Col. 1:21–22, Titus 3:4–7

Jehovah Rapha: Exodus 15

Paragraph 3Christ, by His obedience and death, did fully discharge the debt of all those who are justified; and did, by the sacrifice of Himself in the blood of His cross, undergoing in their stead the penalty due to them, make a proper, real, and full satisfaction to God’s justice in their behalf;8 yet, in as much as He was given by the Father for them, and His obedience and satisfaction accepted in their stead, and both freely, not for anything in them,9 their justification is only of free grace, that both the exact justice and rich grace of God might be glorified in the justification of sinners.108 Heb. 10:14; 1 Pet. 1:18–19; Isa. 53:5–69 Rom. 8:32; 2 Cor. 5:2110 Rom. 3:26; Eph. 1:6–7, 2:7
