First lines

THE adorable Redeemer is stiled Jehovah 330 times in the Old Testament-he is called God 90 times in the Old Testament-he is called God 25 times in the New-he is called the Son of God 41 times-he is called the Son of man 60 times-he is glorious in holiness, in all his works and ways, and independently possesses an essential glory as God, equal with the Father, an ever blessed Spirit, a glory as the Son of God, a personal glory as God-man, a mediatorial glory in the work of redemption, a relative glory as the great and only head of the Church, a declarative glory in all his works of Creation, Grace, and Providence; there is no end of his greatness to them only which believe he is gracious-his name is as ointment poured forth. There is one blessed effect which the Name of Jesus has upon the mind and conduct of believers, worthy of attention, and that is _reverence_. The Names of Jesus being precious, lovely, and blessed, are had in particular reverence by all them that fear him. Hence we are said to serve God acceptably, with reverence, and godly fear-that reverence which God approves, himself produces; and this reverence is necessary in the use of his Names-in the godly conversation of saints, and in the public ordinances of his appointment. The first instance is the mark I aim at-to treat the subject according to its importance would fill a volume.
