Again, sons, not only of God, but of the living God. There is much in this, that the people of God under the gospel should be called the sons of the living God: The life of God is the glory of God: he sweareth by his life: by this he is distinguished from the heathen gods, that he is the living God. Life is the most excellent thing in the world; Augustine therefore saith, that the life of a very fly is more excellent then the Sun in the Firmament: and certainly it is the glory of God, that he is the living God. And as God is the living God, so he is the object of our faith, and so he is the happiness of his people. Trust in the living God; my soul pants and thirsts after the living God, O when shall I come and appear before God.
