CHAP. XVII. An Heavenly Conversation bringeth much glory to the Sanits.
AN Heavenly Conversation, it's a Conversation that will bring much glory to your selves: Though it's true, that the Saints should aim at the glory of God most, yet there will come glory to themselves whether they will or no if their Conversations be in Heaven: it's impossible but that in the conscience of men they should be honoured walking in a Heavenly Conversation: There's an excellent Scripture, that shows, that in our glorifying of God, we glorify our selves also: 2 Thess. 1. 11, 12. the Apostle he prays for them, Wherefore also (saith he) we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this Calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: To what end? That the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God, and the Lord Jesus Christ. He prays for the Thessalonians, That they might walk so, that they might have so much of the grace of God in them, that the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ might be glorified in them. Oh! this is that that all the Saints should desire, and endeavour after, That the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ should be glorified in them; and ye in him saith he: Labour you, that Christ may be glorified in your lives, and you shall be glorified in him. We should desire that Christ may have glory in our glory, & then we shall have glory in Christs glory: this is a sweet and blessed life, when as the Saints have such hearts, as they can say, Lord, let me have no glory, but that thou ⟨p. 247⟩mayest have glory in. Then saith God, Is it so? Doest thou desire no further glory in this world, but that I may have glory in? then I will have no glory in this world, but what thou shalt have glory in: Christ will make us partakers of his glory, as well as we shall make him partaker of our glory. Oh! An Heavenly Conversation that glorifies God, will glorify the Saints too.
