That this Obedience is a work of the Spirit of God in man, demonstrating his saving habitation, and sanctifying operation in man, is evident by the language of the Apostles, We are his witnesses of these things, and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given (to wit) savingly, to them that obey him, (to wit) Cordially and Evangelically, Act. 5.32. And by that of Peter, We are Elect according to the fore-knowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit unto Obedience, 1 Pet. 1.2.
That this Obedience is such a work of the Spirit of God in man, as demonstrates his eternal salvation by Christ, is farther evident by these Scriptures following: Christ being made perfect became the Author of eternal salvation, unto all them that obey him, Heb. 5.9.

If ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my Covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me, above all people, and ye shall be unto me a kingdom of Priests, and an holy Nation, Exod. 19.5, 6. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he that doth the Will of my Father, which is in Heaven, Mat. 7.21. He that doth the Will of God abideth for ever, 1 Joh. 2.17.
