2 God hath promised this happiness to you, 1 John 2. 24. This is the promise which he hath promised, even eternal life. And Tit. 1. 2. In hope of eternal life, which God who cannot lie hath promised. If God hath promised this happiness, and your faith doth give you interest in the promise•• and God be faithful to fulfil to them, it being impossible for God to lie; then as certainly as God is true, you that are believers shall obtain.
3. The Lord Jesus Christ hath purchased this happiness for you, it is called the purchased possession, Eph. 1. 14. as certain as the purchase, so certain will be the possession.
4. The Lord Jesus hath taken possession of Heaven for you, The fore-runner is for us entered, Heb. 6. 20. He is preparing these mansions in the fathers house for you, John 14 2. and as certain as Christ is in Heaven, so certainly shall those that are believers be received thither in time.
