Part 175

And now, “brethren, I commend you to GOD, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and give you an inheritance amongst all them that are sanctified.” May GOD reward you for all your works of faith, and labours of love, and make you to abound more and more in every good word and work towards all men. May he truly convert all that have been convinced, and awaken all that are dead in trespasses and sins! May he confirm all that are wavering! And may you all go on from one degree of grace unto another, till you arrive unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of CHRIST; and thereby be made meet to stand before that GOD, “in whose presence is the fulness of joy, and at whose right-hand there are pleasures for evermore!” Amen! Amen!
