Evidence for heaven containing infallible signs and real demonstrations of our union with Christ…Evidence for heaven containing infallible signs and reall demonstrations of our union with Christ…

one that hears the voice of Christ, speaking in his word, by his Ministers, knows it, and obeys it, and declines the voice of a stranger: He is one, to whom the whole Word and Will of God is sweet, every bitter thing in it sweet: He accounts no truth gall and wormwood, as some phrase it: He is one, to whom all Gospel-Ordinances are sweet and delectable: He is one that deserts not old truth to follow new light, but makes it his sun to discover the verity of it: He is one, that receiveth the Ambassadors of Christ, (to wit) the lawful and faithful Ministers of the Gospel, as Christ himself, and esteems them very highly in love, for their work sake: He is one that delights in the Law of God after his inward man: ⟨p. 104⟩one that labours to live by saith, in every condition, prosperity and adversity: one to whom the yoke of Christ is easy, and his burden light: one to whom none of Christs Commandments are grievous; He is one that continueth in the word of Christ, in the love of it, in the belief of it, in the obedience of it; He is one faithful unto the death; He is one, which how high soever he be in place, in parts, in gifts or grace, is low in his own eyes, little in his own fight, his heart is lowly still; hence it comes to pass, that when he hath done his best to follow the rule of righteousness, he abhors himself for his unrighteousness, and accounts himself a wretched man: Finally, he is one that is joined to the Lord Jesus Christ, and one spirit with him.
