'Tis by God's Power also that we are preserved in a State of Grace. 1 Pet. 1.5. Who are kept by the Power of God through Faith unto Salvation. As Grace is at first from God, so 'tis continually from him, and is maintained by him, as much as Light in the Atmosphere is all Day long from the Sun, as well as at first Dawning, or at Sun-rising.
Men are dependent on the Power of God, for every Exercise of Grace, and for carrying on the Work of Grace in the Heart, for the subduing of Sin and Corruption, & increasing holy Principles, and enabling to bring forth Fruit in good Works, and at last bringing Grace to it's Perfection, in making the Soul completely amiable in Christ's glorious Likeness, and filling of it with a satisfying Joy & Blessedness; and for the raising of the Body to Life, and to such a perfect State, that it ⟨p. 11⟩shall be suitable for an Habitation and Organ for a Soul so perfected and blessed. These are the most glorious Effects of the Power of God, that are seen in the Series of God's Acts with Respect to the Creatures.
