Doct. The Eternal life that God hath given us, is laid up for us in Jesus Christ, John 11.25, 26. Col. 3.3. John 14.6.
Doct. THe Eternall life that God hath given us, is laid up for us in Jesus Christ, John 11.25, 26. Col. 3.3. John 14.6.
This life is fourfold, of Justification, Sanctification, Consolation, and Glorification. All these are laid up in Christ, Jer. 23.6. He is the Lord our righteousness, Psal. 4.1, 2. For them altogether, see 1 Cor. 1.30. He is made our Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption. Our Redemption not only from the guilt eternal and punishment of sin, but from all the afflictions both inward and outward that Gods servants he exposed unto, as for inward temptation in sickness, and griefs, &c. Col. 3.3. Your life is hid with Christ in God, Its sometimes under a veil of corruptions, sometimes of affliction, but yet laid up in Christ.
