2 Of how many parts this comfort consisteth.
Six parts there are of this comfort: §11. Our reconcilement to God by Christ, so that we are no longer enemies,1 but sons of God; neither are we in our own power, but properly belong unto Christ. §22. The manner of our reconcilement, even by the blood of Christ:2 that is to say, by his passion, death, and satisfaction for our sins. §33. Our delivery from the misery of sin and death: For Christ doth not only reconcile us unto God, but also doth exempt and free us out of the power of the Devil, so that sin, death,3 and Satan have no power over us. §44. The perpetual preservation and maintenance of our reconcilement, freedom, and whatsoever other blessings Christ hath once purchased for us. His we are by right: therefore he keepeth us as his own interest, that not so much as an hair may fall from our head without the will of our heavenly Father. Neither lieth our salvation in our hands or power; for if it were so, we should lose it a thousand times every moment. §55. The turning of all our evils into good. 4The godly indeed are afflicted in this life, nay, they are massacred, they are as sheep appointed to the slaughter: but these things do not hurt or hinder at all, but further and help forward our salvation; because God giveth a good issue, and turneth all to the best.
