III.) 1. This promise I come, lastly, to explain. And how encouraging a consideration is this, that whosoever thou art who obeyest his call, thou canst not seek his face in vain. If thou even now _awakest and arisest from the dead_, he hath bound himself to _give thee light. The Lord shall give_ thee _grace and glory_; the light of his grace here, and the light of his glory, when thou receivest the _crown that fadeth not away_. Thy light shall _break forth as the morning_, and thy darkness be as the noon-day. _God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness_, shall _shine in thy heart; to give the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. On them that fear the Lord shall the sun of righteousness arise, with healing in his wings._ And _in that day it shall be said unto thee, Arise, shine: for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee_. For Christ shall reveal himself in thee. And he is the _true light_. 2. God is light, and will give himself to every awakened sinner, that waiteth for him: and thou shalt then be a temple of the living God, and Christ shall _dwell in thy heart by faith_: and _being rooted and grounded in love, thou shalt be able to comprehend with all saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and heighth of that love of Christ which passeth knowledge_. 3. Ye see your calling, brethren. We are call’d to be _an habitation of God through his Spirit_: and through his Spirit dwelling in us, _to be saints_ here, and _partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light_. So _exceeding great_ are the _promises which are given unto us_, actually given unto us who believe. For by faith _we receive, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God_, the sum of all the promises, _that we may know the things that are freely given to us of God_. 4. The Spirit of Christ is that great gift of God, which at sundry times, and in divers manners he hath promised to man, and hath fully bestowed since the time that Christ was glorified. Those Promises before made to the fathers, he hath thus fulfilled: _I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes[7]. I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring[8]._
