8. CONSIDER that by coming unto Christ, you shall have an interest in all that Glory which we have proposed unto you: for Christ will become yours more intimately than your Wives and Children are yours, and so all his Glory is yours also. All are apt to be affected with the good things of their Relation, their Grace, their Riches, their Beauty, their Power; for they judge themselves to have an Interest in them, by reason of their Relation unto them. Christ is nearer to Believers than any Natural Relations are to us whatever; they have therefore an Interest in all his Glory. And is this a small thing in your Eyes, that Christ shall be yours, and all his Glory shall be yours, and you shall have the ⟨p. 12⟩advantage of it unto your Eternal Blessedness? Is it nothing unto you to continue Strangers from and uninterested in all this Glory? To be left to take your portion in this World in Lusts and Sins, and Pleasures, and a few perishing Trifles with Eternal Ruin in the close, whilst such durable Substance, such Riches of Glory are tendered unto you?
