It is elsewhere said, Colos. 3. 3. Ye are dead, but your life, &c. We are dead, i. e. in our selves, we are a sort of dead or dying Creatures, Death hath almost got the possession of us already, has partly seized, and partly sentenced us to die, and irreversibly. This the Apostle intimates where he adds, what you have heard, Ye have a Life bid with Christ in God, that Life is safe, and out of the reach of Death, no Death can ouch that Life. They that are born of God, have in reference to this Life (though the other must be given up) a self-preserving principle and power in them; 1 Joh. 5. 18. They keep themselves, that the Evil One touches them not; that is, not mortally, or with any deadly touch. In having a new, holy, divine Life; they have an assuring pledge also of the permanency, perpetuity, and everlastingness of it. If a man have once drank of that water which Christ gives, it shall be in him a perpetual fountain, a well of water springing up into everlasting life. Joh. 4. 14.
