3. The Redemption of Christ purchasing and procuring of it for them: eternal Glory is one part of that purchase for which Jesus Christ laid down that great price: and it was sealed up to him in the Covenant of Redemption for ⟨p. 80⟩those whom he was to redeem; and this purchase is made sure and ratified, and that not only in respect of the purchase it self, for which he hath payed, and of which payment he hath received a full acquittance in his resurrection, and is actually put in possession, being ascended up into Heaven, and there invested with the tenure and possess of the Crown of Glory; but also in respect of the persons for whom it is bought, and on whom it is to be bestowed. Hence Christ, speaking of the Elect, declare that it was for their sakes that he did that work, Joh. 17. 9. And professeth that he had lost none of those whom his Father had given to him, vers. 12.
Hence,
We read of purchased possession, Eph. 1. 14. And an inheritance reserved for us in the Heavens, 1 Pet. 1. 3. And of Christ willing that all of them should be with him, Joh. 17. 24.
