Reason 1. Because God doth powerfully perform all things, whatsoever hee hath decreed and promised. 2.

Use. 1. This may serve to refute those, that will have our salvation to depend upon the frailty of our will: they deny that God doth powerfully work in us to salvation, when notwithstanding the Scripture doth expressly affirm it. Eph. 1. 19. & 3. 16. 20. 2.

To exhort us, to depend upon that power of God by true faith, as it is in the text.
