And to give you an inheritance] Two things the Children of God do exceedingly desire;¹ Proficiency in grace, and perfection thereof in glory. The Apostle in his valedictory speech, commends them to that God, and to the word of his grace, which can answer both their requests, progress in holiness, and the possession of happiness; which is able to build you up, and to give you on inheritance. Saints are heirs joint-heirs with Christ (Rom. 8.17.) heaven is their proper and peculiar inheritance, the inheritance of the Saints in light, Col. 2. The Gospel or word of his ⟨p. 10⟩grace purifieth and prepareth them for it, and also is the deeds or conveyance speaking their right and title to it, therefore is called the Gospel of our salvation; God is the Author and Donor of it. Glory is his free gift, Its your fathers pleasure to give you a Kingdom, Luk. 12.32.
