Being

For the divine savour has display'd its salutary effects to all mankind:

being justified by his unmerited favour through the redemption that is by Jesus Christ:

the reward is not counted as a favour to him that has done good actions, but as a debt:

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ,

and if it be by favour, it is not upon the account of merit. for then mercy would not be mercy.

and such were some of you: but you have been washed, you have been sanctified, you have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the spirit of our God.

yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in him, and not by the works of the law, by which there is no justification.

Made

and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; although we now suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

and if you belong to Christ, you are Abraham's offspring, and his heirs by virtue of the promise.

so that thou art no longer a bond servant, but a son: and if a son, then an heir of God thro' Christ.

wherefore God was willing to give the heirs of promise a stronger proof of the immutability of his counsel, by the intervention of an oath:

'Twas by faith that Noah being divinely warned of unforeseen events, with a religious concern built an ark to the preservation of his family; whereby the world became inexcusable, and he obtained the reward of that righteousness which is by faith.

consider, my dear brethren, has not God chose the poor of this world to be rich by faith, and to inherit the kingdom he has promised to those who love him?

You husbands, do you on your part behave with prudence towards your wives: who being of a more delicate make, ought to be treated with the greater tenderness: and consider they are equally intitled to the evangelical gifts, that your prayers may not be frustrated.

Hope

and gives the expectation of eternal life, which the God of veracity promised so many ages ago;

in expectation of that desirable happiness, the glorious appearance of the supreme God, and of our saviour Jesus Christ,

General references

for we conclude, that a man is justified by faith, without observing the legal rites.

and this is the reward that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
