CHAP. 50. Of the estate of the Elect after judgement.
CHAP. 50. Of the estate of the Elect after iudgement.
The last judgement being once finished, the Elect shall enjoy immediately blessedness in the kingdom of heaven.
THe last iudgement beeing once finished, the Elect shall enioy immediatly blessednes in the kingdome of heauen.
Blessedness is that, whereby God himself is all in all his Elect. 1. Cor. 15. 28. When all things shall be subdued to him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him, that did subdue all things under him, that God may be all in all. And it is the reward of good works, not because works can merit, but by reason of Gods favour, who thus accepteth works, and that in respect of the merit of Christs righteousness imputed to the Elect. Rom. 6.23. The wages of sin is death, but eternal life is the gift of God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. 2. Tim. 4. 8. Reu. 22. 12. Behold, I come shortly, and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Blessednes is that, whereby God himselfe is all in all his Elect.
