The Holy Spirit and Good Things are spoken of in Scripture as the same; as if the Spirit of God communicated to the Soul, comprised all good Things, Mat. 7.11. How much more shall your heavenly Father give good Things to them that ask him. In Luke it is, Chap. 11.11. How much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him. This is the Sum of the ⟨p. 17⟩Blessings that Christ died to procure, and that are the Subject of Gospel-Promises. Gal. 3.13, 14. He was made a Curse for us, that we might receive the Promise of the Spirit through Faith. The Spirit of God is the great Promise of the Father, Luke 24.49. Behold I send the Promise of my Father upon you. The Spirit of God therefore is called the Spirit of Promise; Eph. 1.13. This Promised Thing Christ received, and had given into his Hand, as soon as he had finished the Work of our Redemption, to bestow on all that he had redeemed; Acts 2.33. Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the Promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye both see and hear. So that all the Holiness and Happiness of the Redeemed is in God. 'Tis in the Communications, indwelling and acting of the Spirit of God. Holiness and Happiness is in the Fruit, here and hereafter, because God dwells in them, and they in God.
