Between the Foundation and Building there is somewhat that joins and cements them together; between Christ and Believers the cement is not material but spiritual; ⟨p. 70⟩these are joined together by Faith and by the Holy Spirit. Faith is one cement: Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner-stone, elect, precious: he that believeth on him shall not be confounded, 1 Pet. 2.6. Faith joins the Believer to the Foundation; that's the Reason, that he shall not be confounded. Sin, Satan, the World, shall not confound him, because he is built upon a Foundation, in which is Propitiation, Grace and Victory; the Divine Favour, the influences of Grace, the Crown of eternal Life shall not fail him, because he is joined to a Foundation, in which the Promises of these things are Yea, and Amen.
