Thirdly, 'Tis put for his Rewarding Grace; and so he is said to know, or not to know. To know his People, 1 Cor. 8.3. If any man love God, the same is known of him. Those that choose God for their portion, and cleave to him, and serve him faithfully, Christ will own them or confess them before his Father in Heaven, Luk. 12.8. but others he will not own. See Mat. 7.21. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: He will not own them in judgment that will not own and obey him now. So Luk. 13.25.26.27. When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut the door; and ye begin to stand without, and knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not, whence you are: Then shall ye begin to say, we have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. But he shall say, I tell ye, I know you not. Here is no entertainment for such as you, who have by your sloth, negligence and improvidence forfeited the advantages offered you; I never approved you for my Disciples and Servants. [Greek or Hebrew], &c. saith Chrysostom; These words are more cutting and grievous than Hell it self, I know you not. Well, these three sorts of knowing must be distinguished.
