And so, art thou doubtful for the time to come what shall befall thee? God in Christ Jesus hath made a Promise, That where he hath begun, he will make an end, Philip. 1. 6. He that hath begun a good work will finish it to the day of the Lord. Christ is Alpha, and Omega too; and What shall separate us from the Love of God in Christ? Neither things present, nor things to come, nor any thing else: why? because it is the love of God in Christ. Gods love is founded in Christ, and he will love thee eternally: There is a ground of perseverance. Therefore be sure to take in trust the time to come, as well as the present; he will be thy God for the time to come, as well as for the present: he will be thy God to death. Jesus Christ is yesterday, to day, and to morrow, and the same for ever. He was, and is, and is to come. He was good to thee before he called thee; he is good to thee now in the state of Grace, and he will be for ever. Why shouldest thou stagger for the time to come? Take in trust all that shall befall thee for the time to come, as well as for the present: for he is Yea, and Amen himself, and all his Promises are Yea, and Amen. Christ is Amen, the true witness, Thus saith Amen, Rev. 1. and all his Promises are like himself, Amen.
