Why should a believer fear that God will cast him away? he will as soon leave his love to ⟨p. 288⟩his own Son, as to us, if we continue members of his Son, it is an undefeasable love: it is a point of wondrous comfort, What shall separate us (saith the Apostle, Rom. 8.1) from the love of God founded in Christ? neither things present, nor things to come, nor life, nor death, nor any thing; many things may sever the soul, and body, but there is nothing in the world, but sin, that shall sever, either soul or body, from the love of God in Christ, because both body and soul, are members of Christ, therefore let us treasure it up, as a point wondrous comfortable.
