Psal. 86.9. All Nations whom thou hast made shall come and Worship before thee, O Lord; and shall Glorify thy Name. Joh. 3.16. God so Loved the World, that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not Perish, but have Everlasting Life. Rom. 14.10. We shall all stand before the Judgment-Seat of Christ. Tit. 2.11, 12. The Grace of God, which bringeth Salvation hath appeared unto all men; Teaching us, that denying all Ungodliness & Worldly Lusts, we should Live Soberly, Righteously, and Godlily, in this present World. Eph. 6.5, 6, 7, 8. Servants, Be Obedient unto them that are your Masters — as the Servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the Heart; with Good Will, doing Service as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that ⟨p. 44⟩whatsoever Good thing any man does, the same shall he receive of the Lord.
