This is our comfort and our confidence that God accepts us,1 because he accepts his Beloved, and when he shall cease to love Christ, he shall cease to love the members of Christ, they ⟨p. 26⟩and Christ make one mystical Christ. This is our comfort in dejection for sin, we are so and so indeed, but Christ is the chosen servant of God, In whom he delighteth, and delights in us in him, it is no matter what we are in our selves, but what we are in Christ, when we are once in him and continue in him, God loves us with that inseparable love wherewith he loves his own Son, therefore Saint Paul triumphs, Rom. 8. What shall separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus? This love it is founded in Christ, therefore neither things present, nor things to come, (as he goes on there gloriously) shall be able to separate us, you see what a wondrous confidence and comfort we have hence, if we labour to be in Christ, that then God loves and delights in us, because he loves, and delights in Christ Jesus.
