The Love of God to his Saints exceeds the Love and Pity of either Father or Husband; therefore Hope, the Anchor of the Soul, is both sure and steadfast. 1Eleventhly; The Power of God is a sure Ground of Hope. My Sheep hear my Voice, and follow me, and I give to them eternal Life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my Hand. My Father that gave them me is greater than all, and none is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand;—who are kept by the Power of God, through Faith, unto Salvation. If the Power of God be sufficient to keep Believers from falling, and to preserve them to his heavenly Kingdom, then their Hope is both sure and steadfast.
