Answ. In the sure word of promise that God hath made and confirmed it by an oath unto his children, that by two immutable witnesses they might receive strong consolation, Heb. 6.18. The Spirit of God is said to make it sure to us, both by the Spirit of faith, looking for salvation by another; namely, Christ Jesus, Rom. 4.16. and by the Spirit of fear, He will put his fear into our hearts, that we shall not depart from him, Jer. 32.40. And thus is the Covenant of God said to be sure, Psal. 89.34.36. My Covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my mouth: I have sworn by my holiness, that I will not fail David: So likewise a comfortable place have we in 2 Tim. 2.13. where the Apostle saith, though we believe not, yet he abideth faithful, he cannot deny himself.
