SERMON XII.
2 Thess. 2.14. Whereunto he called you by our Gospel, to the obtaining of the Glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thess. 2.14. Whereunto he called you by our Gospel, to the obtaining of the Glory of our Lord Iesus Christ.
After the Doctrine of Antichrist, and God's dreadful Spiritual Judgments on his Abetters and Followers, the Apostle interposeth some matter of Consolation to the Thessalonians: As before he comforted them from their Election, so now from their Vocation. Therefore as we saw the Doctrine of Election, set forth in the former Verse, with all its appendant Branches, and Circumstances: So now the Doctrine of Vocation, with what belongeth to it. Here Calling is set forth, (1.) By the Author of it, he called you; that is God, who from the beginning hath chosen you to Salvation. (2.) The outward Means, by our Gospel. (3.) The End, which is double. 1. Subordinate, in the word [Whereunto?] to Faith and Holiness. 2. Ultimate, to the obtaining of the Glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Whereunto he called you, &c.
