ANSWER.
1. Let us make Sure that our Souls be Risen out of a State of SIN. Are our Souls Quickened, which Once were Dead in Trespasses and Sins? If our Souls have Experienced a Spiritual Resurrection, our Bodies shall have a Blessed Resurrection at the Last Day. Is there a Spiritual Life infused into our Souls? Is there a work of Saving Grace begun there? Have we truly Repented of all our Sins? Then they shall not Lie down with us in the Grave, and Rise up with us to Condemn us at the Great Day. Is there none in this Assembly, but what can say as in the Presence of GOD, I know not of any One ⟨p. 184⟩Sin I have been guilty of, but I have Confessed it, Repented of it; and through Christ my Peace is made with God? Are we true Believers on CHRIST? All and only such are Regenerate. Then there is a blessed Scripture for us to Meditate on, and take Comfort from: It is that, Joh. 11.25, 26. Jes•s said, I am the Resurrection and the Life; he that Believeth on me, though he were Dead, yet shall he Live. And whosoever Liveth, and Believeth on me, shall never Die.
