First, Whosoever truly and heartily receives the Lord Jesus Christ, are truly and justly reputed to be the sons of God,1 Joh. 1.12. But I have received Christ all the ways that the Word there can import; I am heartily willing to receive the Lord Jesus Christ in all his offices, viz. as a King to rule me, a Prophet to teach and instruct me, and a Priest to offer and intercede for me; I am willing to receive him as a Sanctifier, as well as a Saviour, and to receive him as my Lord, as well as to receive him as my Redeemer, and to receive him upon his own terms, viz. of taking up his Cross, denying my self, and following of him; therefore I may safely, boldly, plainly and warrantably conclude, that I am a son of God, and that I have an interest in God, according to the Scripture last cited; which Scripture cannot be broken, nor cannot fail, nor cannot be unbound or loosed, as the Greek word in that, John 10.35. imports, &c.
