At the Resurrection from the Dead, our Lord Jesus Christ will Redeem us, from all Sin for ever. Sin, Ah, Sin, Tis the worst Pit that ever we fell into. We are now Redeemed from the Guilt of Sin. 'Tis said, Eph. 1. 7. We have Redemption through His Blood, the Forgiveness of Sins. We no sooner Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, but we are completely Redeemed from the Sentence of Death, which had been passed upon us; and there […] no Condemnation unto us. But alas, […] are still Remainders of Sin cleaving unto us: After our Sin is pardoned, we are yet still so attended with Sin, as to distress us, and abase us, and the Body of Death, makes us even ⟨p. 156⟩weary of our Life. No men are so Full of Sin, as they that boast themselves to be Free from Sin. At the Resurrection of the Body, we shall receive a perfect Redemption, from all Corruption. There will be no Sin to Reign in our mortal Body, when our Body shall be, as then it shall, Immortalized. We shall then stand, not only without Guilt, but also without Fault, before the Throne of God; and we shall be presented Faultless before the presence of His Glory with exceeding Joy. All our Lusts which now war against our Souls; all the Seeds of Sin in us; All our sinful Dispositions and Inclinations, will then be utterly extirpated out of our Souls.
