The safety of appearing at the day of judgement, in the righteousness of Christ

That Christ has so purchased Salvation, that the Elect cannot fail of it: and herein lies one great difference between the first Adam and the second: though the first Adam made us Heirs of death, yet there is a possibility of our escaping destruction: but the second Adam has so made us Heirs of life as that it is impossible that we should miss thereof: that is intended, Rom. 5:17. If by one mans offence death reigned by one, much more they that receive abundance of Grace, and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one Jesus Christ: Christs purchase gives us such a title to Salvation as that there can be no failure of it, 2 Thes. 2.16.
