Q. How does God by Jesus Christ prepare them for Glory?
A. God does this, by creating them in Christ Jesus unto good Works, and by confirming them therein unto the end.
[Ephes. 2.10. We are God's Workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good Works, which God hath before ordained, that we should walk in them. 1 Cor. 1.8, 9. Who [God] shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ. 1 Thes. 5.23, 24. And the very God of Peace sanctify you wholly: And I pray God your whole Spirit, and Soul, and Body, be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is be that calleth you, who also will do it. Heb. 13.20, 21. Now the God of Peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the Sheep, through the Blood of the Everlasting Covenant, make you perfect in every good Work to do his Will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be Glory, for ever and ever. Amen.]
