Fourthly,1 faith gives the soul an interest in God, in Christ, in all those glorious things in the Gospel, and in ⟨p. 159⟩the things of eternal life. Faith is an appropriating, an applying, and uniting grace. It is a blessed thing to have the sight of God, there is much power in it, but to see God in his glory, as my God, to see all the Majesty, greatness, and goodness of God, as those things that my soul hath an interest in, to see how the eternal Counsels of God wrought for me to make me happy, to see Christ in whom all fullness dwells, in whom the treasures of all Gods riches are, and all those are mine; to see Christ coming from the Father for me, to be my Redeemer, all this is the work of faith by the union of it with God in Jesus Christ. Faith unites the soul to Christ, after another manner then any other grace.
