Double Bond

It is true that we are united to Christ by his Spirit, but that hindereth not our union also by faith.. Both may stand together. For there is a double bond of our spiritual union with Christ : one on Christ's part, which is the Spirit ; the other on our part, which is faith. Christ, by his Spirit, layeth hold on ns, and we by faith lay hold on Christ.
