1. If you have the saving and spiritual blessings of the covenant of grace; and these are four; 1. God will be your God, and you shall be his people; This is the tenor of the covenant of grace, as in Jer. 31. 33. I will be their God, and they shall my people. I shall a little open this blessing to you, for God to be our God, it notes these three things: 1. It notes a special propriety in God, which none have but the elect. 2. It notes an all-sufficiency in God for their good. 3. It notes an absolute authority, that God hath over them.

1. For God to be our God, it notes that God is yours in a special way of propriety, which none but those that are the children of God can have, wicked men cannot lay claim to God as their God; as Pharaoh, when he desired Moses to pray for him, says he I have sinned against the Lord your God, he could not say against the Lord my God, you that can upon Scripture grounds, lay claim to God as your God, as having a special propriety in him, you have an interest in the covenant of grace.
