3. What an advantage is it to the Spiritual Life, to have good Hope wrought in us through Grace.
1. It maketh us diligent and Serious; Christianity implieth a serious application of our Heart and Mind, to do what Christ requireth, that we may obtain what he hath offered; to do it as our first work and chief business. Phil. 2.12. Work out your own Salvation with fear and trembling. Heb. 4.1. Let us labour to enter into that rest. That is, imply our utmost care and diligence. Now all the Executive Powers are fortified and strengthened in their Operation by Hope.
