O that you would often, every day think on this, viz. That the undoubted verity of Gods promises, proveth an inseparable connection between true faith and eternal glory, John 3.14, 15, 16. And as Moses lifted up the Serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up; That whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have eternal life. God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 5.24. Verily, verily (these serious asseverations or protestations amount almost to an oath) I say unto you, he that heareth my words, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death to life. John 3.36. He that believeth on the Son, hath everlasting life. (He hath it in the promise, he hath it in ⟨p. 49⟩the first Fruits, Rom. 8.23. he hath it in the earnest, Ephes. 1.13, 14. and he hath it in Christ his Head, Ephes. 2.6.) Mark 16.16. He that believeth and is Baptised, shall be saved, he that believeth not shall be damned. 1 Pet. 2.6. Behold I lay in Zion a chief Corner stone, Elect precious, and he that believeth on him, shall not be confounded. John 6.40. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the last day. Verse 47. Verily, verily I say unto you, he that believeth on me, hath everlasting Life. John 2.25
