4. We keep our selves in Gods Love, by being found in such a State, and in such a Way as leads to Life, which is chiefly Faith and Obedience.
5. Such as are found out of this Way and State, are not Children, but Strangers and Enemies, therefore have no Reason to expect an Inheritance; they have no Title nor Right to it. Now a Son that's Heir apparent by Adoption in Christ to such an Estate of Eternal Life in Heaven, he will not only be always in Expectation of it, but will judge himself bound to study all the ways he can possibly do to please God, to keep in his Love and favour; and withal fear and take heed of forfeiting the Love of God.

1. Because it is an Act of Mercy, and free Grace; it is not a Debt, or any thing thou canst challenge; the Lord Jesus is sole purchaser. Text.
