Having clear'd this point, I have nothing eſse to ſay, but that by all Prophecies, and the Fulfillings of the ſame, I have been convinced of the coming of the Meſſiah the King, and that Jeſus Chriſt was the ſame, who was Crucified, ſold for thirty Pieces, betrayed by his own Friend, pierced, dead, buried, and roſe again. The Lord conform me in this Faith, by which I hope to be ſaved, for the Merits of my Saviour Chriſt Jeſus, Amen.

And the ordaining of this remedy for the removing of ſin, may be truly ſaid to be gracious, as well as the whole eſtabliſhment of grace for man in Chriſt Jeſus.

Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God—the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life was a descendant of David, and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.

As Christians, not only is there the witness of the Spirit within us, but there is the witness of the Word of God. The Spirit bears witness that Jesus is the Christ through the written Word of God. God has gone on record in His Word as offering eternal life to those who will place their trust in Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior.
