But you would know who those are that are saved, or that shall be saved for ever; why, thus briefly, only to name things,
First, Look who those are that are justified, they shall be certainly saved.
Secondly, Those that are willing to part with all for Christ, and for the service of Christ; they shall certainly be saved. Mat. 19.29. And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name sake, shall receive an hundred fold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
Thirdly, They that stand at Christs right hand here, they shall be sure to stand at Christs right hand, at the day of judgement; and so be saved. 2 Cor. 5.5. ⟨p. 78⟩Now he that hath wrought us for the self same thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of his spirit; he that hath wrought us for the self same thing: it is the very same word which is used for work out your own salvation, &c. So that there is a working up of the soul unto eternal glory; and if Christ hath wrought you unto the self same thing, whilst you live here, then you are at his right hand now; and then you may be sure to stand at his right hand, at the day of judgement, and so shall be sure to be saved for ever to all eternity.
