There is a special gift of promise peculiar to believers (Ro. 8.32) He that spared not his own Son, but gave him to die for us, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? that is, all worldly things; or we may take in whatsoever else concerns our spiritual estate, besides Christ: All the things of Christ, yea and all worldly things come in to the Saints, as a gift by Christ, who is himself the greatest gift that ever man received, or that God could bestow. How shall he ⟨p. 323⟩deny us any thing, when he hath given us him who is above all things? 1 Cor. 3.22, 23. Whether Paul, or Apollos, or the world, all is yours (for) ye are Christs. Believers enjoy earthly things by an heavenly title. Christ is their conveyance. In this sense the earth is not given to the wicked: the Lord gives them nothing in Christ, or for Christ as a Saviour in the Covenant of Grace, Christ as a Lord hath bought the wicked (2 Pet. 2.1.) and he gives them what they have, as they are his creatures: as he hath given them a subsistence, and a breathing in the world, so he allots them maintenance in the world.
