III. Consolation.
The opening of thy Heart to Christ by Faith, is a good assurance that Heaven shall be opened to thy Soul hereafter: Heaven is shut against none but those that shut their Hearts against Christ by Unbelief. Will you bar Christ out of your Souls by Ignorance and Unbelief, and then cry Lord open to us? No, God will open to none but them that open to Christ. Eternity it self shall but suffice to bless God for this ⟨p. 174⟩opening act of Faith; He that believeth shall be saved, Mark 16. 16.
