Chapter 12: Of Adoption
All those that are justified, God vouchsafes, 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.
