Hope seen is not hope: 1All the glory of heaven is seen, and all is present, there is no futurity in heaven: heaven i• but one point of eternity; 2the Saints have all beatitudes, and all at once in God; now abideth indeed faith and hope, but then possession. 3They shall sit down with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven. The Kingdom of Heaven is theirs, and they shall sit by it. All the precious privileges of the Gospel, which cost Christ so dear, are now perfected into full possession. Adoption is now perfect; now they are the Sons of God, and they know what it is to be the Sons of God: Justification is now ⟨p. 55⟩complete: Sanctification is now at perfect age: In a word, all their hopes are now their inheritance. This is fruition!
