We are Children of the Light: Ye were in darkness, but now are light in the Lord. Now it is very observable, what the Apostle speaks concerning the children of darkness, and the children of the light, 2 Thes. 5.5. You Believers, saith he, are all the children of the light, and the children of the day; we are not of the night, nor of darkness; but what follows? therefore let us not sleep as do others: but let us watch, and be sober: why? for they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that be drunk be drunk in the night: if any stagger, that is the work of the night, this is not the work of the day: Now every Apostate that wavers, he is like a man that is drunk, so that he acts clean contrary to the children of the day. Saith he, They that are drunk, are drunk in the night; but saith he, Let us watch and be sober, and let us who are of the day, put on the Breast-plate of Faith, and for a Helmet the hope of Salvation.
We are by believing, the Children of God, Gal. 3.26. For we are all the children of God by Faith in Christ Jesus: now, Beloved, are we weary of so honourable a Title, as being the children of God? why, we are the children of God by Faith in Christ Jesus. Will any body part with so great a Title as this? why, if we are weary of being God's Children, whose can we be? none but the Devils: and had we rather be the Devils Children than Gods? there are but these two, either you must be Children of God, or the Devils children; now you are the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus: oh therefore let us hold fast the profession of our Faith, seeing by Faith we are the Children of God.
