Hence all that are given to Christ, must be raised from the dead, and be in an immortal condition, and in everlasting happiness. As our Saviour reasoned against the Sadducees, God is the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob: God is a God in Covenant with the Living: Therefore Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob must live, and that in Bodies and Souls, because he is the God of both. So those ⟨p. 359⟩that must ever be with Christ, they must have a Being, and be raised out of the dust: nor matters it, though they were returned to the dust, and that scattered into the four corners of the World; into the Sea, where they have been drowned; into the Earth, where they have been buried; into the Fire, where they have been burned. The Lord will send his Angels, and he will gather his Elect: The Sea shall give up her dead, the Fire and Earth their dead. They shall be made immortal, that so they may be ever with the Lord.
