man's side of the bargain

Baxter writes this about "man's part of the covenant" with God:

"1. That we do take God the Father for our reconciled Father in Jesus Christ, and do give up ourselves to him as creatures to their Maker.
2. That we do take Jesus Christ for our Redeemer, Saviour, and Meditor, as our High Priest, and Prophet, and King, and do give up ourselves to him as his redeemed ones to be reconcilled to God, and saved by him.
3. That we do take the Holy Ghost for our Regeneator and Sanctifier, and do give up ourselves to be perfectly renewed and sanctified by him, and by his operations carried on to God in his holy service"

Give up ourselves to him!
