All those that are justified, God vouchsafeth, in and for His only Son Jesus Christ, to make partakers of the grace of adoption:252 by which they are taken into the number, and enjoy the liberties and privileges of the children of God,253 have His name put upon them,254 receive the spirit of adoption,255 have access to the throne of grace with boldness,256 are enabled to cry, Abba, Father,257 are pitied,258 protected,259 provided for,260 and chastened by Him as by a Father;261 yet never cast off,262 but sealed to the day of redemption,263 and inherit the promises,264 as heirs of everlasting salvation.265
