1The Apostle speaks not doubtingly, perhaps thou shalt be saved, nor they do not say, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and it may be thou mayest go to Heaven, but they speak boldly, confidently, peremptorily, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. O my Soul, what greater certainty and security can any man have, than the infallible promise of that God that is truth it self, who will not, who cannot deny his word. but the same love and free Grace that moved him to infuse grace into his children's souls, will move him also to keep the word that is gone out of his mouth, and to make good whatever he hath promised; thus you evidently see that the Promises prove an inseparable connection between Grace and glory, between Faith and everlasting Life; so that let me but prove that I have a saving Faith, and the Scriptures last cited, prove infallibly that I shall be saved.
