§. Sect. 5 The second reason may be taken from his will revealed in his word; for whatsoever God thus willeth, that shall most ⟨p. 661⟩certainly come to pass:1 but God willeth that all should have everlasting life whom he hath given to Christ, in which number are all those who are effectually called, as our Saviour testifieth Joh. 6.39. And this is the fathers will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And he willeth likewise, that he that believeth in the son should be saved, as it is vers. 40. And therefore those who are effectually called and believe in Christ, cannot possibly perish, but shall most certainly have eternal life.
