All those that are justified, God vouchsafeth, in and
for his only Son Jesus Christ, to make partakers of the
grace of adoption, by which they are taken into the number,
and enjoy the liberties and privileges of the children of God,
have his name put upon them, receive the Spirit of adoption,
have access to the throne of grace with boldness, are enabled
to cry, Abba, Father, are pitied, protected, provided for, and
chastened by him, as by a father: yet never cast off, but sealed
to the day of redemption; and inherit the promises, as heirs of
everlasting salvation. WCF Chapt 12 |
