But then fourthly, As many as are brought over to Gospel-believing, this is your duty, To study and endeavour, what you can, your advantages in Faith; and so the Apostle gives it in charge here in the Chapter in verse 13. These things have I written to you that believe on the Name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe on the Son of God. This is that you should set about. If God hath brought you over to a closing with Christ, and an embracing of the testimonies concerning him, believe more and more, labour for your advancement, and let it be your Prayer, Good Lord increase our Faith: Labour that you may be clear in your apprehensions of Gospel-mysteries, and that you may be more strong in your adherence to Christ, of whom those Gospel-testimonies are given, and that you may not only come to have an adhering-faith, but to an assuring-faith; that you may not be like waves tossed and tumbled up and down; but that you may come to be rooted, and established, and grounded in your faith; that you may not come to be unsettled by▪ Heresy, corrupt Doctrines, or the Apostasy of others, but that you may be steadfast and unmoveable.
