He hath begun a good work in you, he will finish it. He will lead you from virtue to virtue, from strength to strength, from glory to glory. He hath called you, he will also keep you faithful until the day of the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. You are Christs sheep. No man shall take you out of his ⟨p. 227⟩bands. He hath not lost one of all them, whom his father had given him. He knoweth his sheep. None shall be confounded that put their trust in him. There is no condemnation to them that be in Christ Jesus. He is faithful, he will perform this unto you, not for your merits, but for his own name, and for his mercy sake. Because he is faithful, he will not despise the work of his own hands.
