(3.) The Vision of God, I John 3.2. that at length we shall be admitted into his blessed Presence, and see him as he is, and be made like him both for Holiness and Happiness.
(3.) The Vision of God, I Iohn 3.2. that at length we shall be admitted into his blessed Presence, and see him as he is, and be made like him both for Holiness and Happiness.
(4.) Our heavenly Inheritance. 1 Pet. 1.4. An inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, that fadeth not away, reserved in Heaven for us. Called Eternal Life, Tit. 1.2. In hope of eternal Life, which God, that cannot lie, promised us. The Glory of God, Rom. 5.2. We rejoice in hope of the Glory of God. Well then, all this is a good Hope, if there be the things hoped for: for the object of our Hope is the chiefest Good, the eternal Vision and Fruition of God; this is that we must aim at as our Happiness. Psal. 17.15. As for me, I shall behold thy Face in Righteousness, I shall be satisfied when I awake with thy Likeness; we must seek after it, and make it our constant Work. Heb. 11.6. God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him; this is that we must take hold of, as having a right and title to it. Heb. 6.18. Who have fled for refuge, to lay hold on the Hope set before us. We challenge it by the Law of Grace, as we fulfil the Conditions. Our Hold is more strong, Right more evident; as we get greater measures of the First-fruits, we gain more security and confidence in the spiritual Conflict.
