It is a great blessing unto Gods children that they shall be accounted so before others.1 Not only that they shall be so; but that they shall be accounted so.2 Blessed are the peace-makers for they shall be called the children of God, This is a blessing not only to be Gods children, but to be called Gods children. We must account it so, and therefore we must walk so as may convince all with whom we do converse that we are the children of God; and not think this sufficient, well, let me approve my heart to God; and then what need I care what all the World thinks of me. God doth promise it as a blessing to have his people called the children of God, then this must not be slighted. You shall find it often in the Gospel that Christ made a great business of this to make it manifest to the world that he was sent of God, he would have them to know that his Father sent him, and that he came from him: So the people of God should count it a blessing, and walk so as they may obtain such a blessing that the world may know that they are of God.
