The Christian's charter showing the privileges of a believerThe Christian's charter shewing the priviledges of a believer

1. He that is divinely adopted,§1 the entail of hell and damnation is cut off. Before, all the curses in Gods book were due to us; adoption cuts off the entail: [Greek or Hebrew], Rom. 1.1. There is now therefore no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. A believer is out of the power of damnation. Will a father pass the sentence upon his own son? He may, as in some cases Judges have done in their circuit: but God ⟨p. 47⟩will not. God doth so love his eldest Son, that for his sake he will not destroy any of his adopted sons. Indeed, every believer is like to Christ the eldest Son; He hath the same spirit, the same judgement, the same will: so that there being something of Christ the eldest Son in every adopted son, God will not destroy him; for then he should throw something of Christ into hell.
