3. The next Proposition is this, That the fairest part of this Redemption is hereafter, then our Happiness in Christ is perfect. Luke 21.28. When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your Heads, for your Redemption draweth nigh. Ephes. 4.30. Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the Day of Redemption. Then we are past Gun-shot, and out of Harm's way. We are fully redeemed from the Guilt of Sin, when there is no Monument of God's Displeasure left. We must be like our Head in all Conditions. We are not fully freed from the Relics of Sin till the Resurrection, that we may have new Matter to glorify God when we come to Heaven. Old Adam is not quite abolished, till God be all in all.

Secondly; He hath delivered us from the Power of Sin. He paid the Price on the Cross; therefore it is said, Rom. 6.6. Our Old Man is crucified with him, that the Body of Sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve Sin. When Christ lay a dying, Sin lay a dying, and bled with him on the Cross; then was Grace purchased: and therefore Faith should look upon Sin as dead and actually crucified, it is done in the Mystery. And then he ascended, and poured out the Spirit now to accomplish this Work. God is satisfied, and Christ's Work lieth now with Satan, and our own Hearts.
