2. God will keep you from the Evil of Sin, so far as it is deadly; that is, that it be not a Sin unto Death, 1 John 5. 16. and that it may not reign in our mortal Bodies, for you are dead to it. Rom. 6. 14. For Sin shall not have Dominion over you: for ye are not under the Law, but under Grace.
2. God will keep you from the Evil of Sin, so far as it is deadly; that is, that it be not a Sin unto Death, 1 Iohn 5. 16. and that it may not reign in our mortal Bodies, for you are dead to it. Rom. 6. 14. For Sin shall not have Dominion over you: for ye are not under the Law, but under Grace.
3. God undertakes for our Final Deliverance from all Evil, upon our translation to Heaven. This is included in this Prayer, that we may at length come to that State, where is no Sorrow, no Sin, no Assault and Temptation from Satan, that we may be kept from all Wickedness. Psal. 34. 19. Many are the Afflictions of the Righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. There is a time when God delivereth us from all at once, and that is by Death, and our Translation into Heaven.
Well then, Let us fly to God for Deliverance, waiting for his Help.
