Use, Is of Consolation. For though this divine power of Christ be terrible to his enemies, yet to believers it brings firm hope, and affiance, and comfort; because as Christ himself saith, Joh. •0. 24. such an one hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life.
