(3.) At the very close of all it is Grace. Hope unto the end, for the Grace that is brought unto you at the Revelation of Christ, 1 Pet. 1.13. Then there will be the fullest and largest Manifestation of God's Love and free Grace: There is Grace brought to us now, by the Revelation of Jesus Christ in the Gospel; but when his Person shall be revealed, Grace shall be seen in all its Graciousness▪ We see his Grace in the pardon of Sins, and that measure of Sanctification, which now we attain unto, that he is pleased to pass by our Offences, and take us into his Family, and give us right to his Heavenly Kingdom, and some taste of his Love, and remote Service. But when Pardon shall be pronounced by the Judge's Mouth, when he shall take us not only into his Family, but into his Palace, and Father's House, and give us not Right only, but Possession; and we shall be ⟨p. 424⟩admitted to the immediate Vision and Fruition of God, and be everlastingly employed in Heavenly Praising, and delighting in him, then Grace will be Grace indeed.
