VERSE 13, 14, 15, 16.
In the close of the foregoing Verse the Apostle expresseth the end of all his Exhortations, what they tended unto, and what would be the advantage of all that complied with them in Faith and Obedience. And this was the Inheriting of the Promises, or the enjoyment of the things promised by God, unto them that believe and obey. Of all that intercourse that is between God and sinners, the Promise on the part of God is the sole Foundation. Thereby doth God express his Goodness, Grace, Truth, and Sovereign Power unto men. Herein all supernatural Religion and all our concernments therein, are founded, and not on any thing in us. And on our part the Inheritance of the Promises in the effects of those holy Properties of God towards us, is the end of what we look for and aim at in all our Obedience. Wherefore the Apostle having arrived in the series of his Discourse unto the mention of this great period of his whole design, he stays awhile to consider and explain it in these Verses.
