Proposition 7. Sincere obedience to God in Christ is a condition of our continuance in a state of Justification, or of our not losing it. And our perseverance therein is a condition of our appearing in that state before the Lord, at our departure hence.
Proposition 8. Our Faith, Love, and Works of Love, or sincere Obedience, are conditions of our sentential Justification by Christ at the particular and general Judgement (which is the great Justification.) And so as they will prove our Interest in Christ our Righteousness, so will they materially themselves justify us against the particular false Accusation of being finally impenitent, Unbelievers, not Loving, not obeying sincerely.
