What a Cordial to the Godly is the first of Peter, the first Chapter, the second Verse, and so on? Where we find that God intends Heaven for them, and is graciously pleased to reserve and preserve them for it; it being a reviving Consideration to me, sometimes, to see how God deals with his poor Children, and what Steps he takes to bring them to Glory. I will, for the Benefit of my (too often) desponding Soul, ruminate on this Place of Scripture, where I find these Words of Peter, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, who writes to the Strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia; Elect according to the Fore-knowledge of God the Father, through Sanctification of the Spirit unto Obedience, and sprinkling of the Blood of Jesus Christ; Grace unto you and Peace be multiplied. In this Verse I observe how the whole Trinity are employed in the Salvation of Sinners: God the Father, he elects, he fore-knoweth whom he will bring to himself: then the Spirit sanctifieth those whom God hath elected, and makes them obedient to their ⟨p. 64⟩Heavenly Father; and they are sprinkled with the Blood of Jesus Christ, their Sins for his sake are all done away; therefore the Apostle may well say, Grace unto you and Peace be multiplied: for who can want Grace or Peace, whom God the Father, Son, and Spirit, are contriving how to bring them to Glory?
