7. _All things are possible to him that_ thus _believeth: the eyes of his understanding being enlightened_, he _sees_ what is his calling, even to _glorify God_, who hath _bought him with_ so high _a price, in his body and in his spirit, which now are God’s_ by redemption, as well as by creation. He feels what is _the exceeding greatness of his power_, who as he raised up _Christ_ from the dead, so is able to quicken us, _dead in sin, by his Spirit which dwelleth in us. This is the victory which overcometh the world, even our faith_: that faith which is not only an unshaken assent to all that God hath revealed in scripture, and in particular to those important truths, _Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners; he bare our sins in his own body on the tree; he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world_: [2]But likewise the revelation of _Christ_ in our hearts; a divine evidence or conviction of his love, his free, unmerited love to me a sinner, a sure confidence in his pardoning mercy, wrought in us by the Holy Ghost: a confidence, whereby every true believer is enabled to bear witness, _I know that my Redeemer liveth_; that _I have an Advocate with the Father_; that _Jesus Christ the righteous is_ my Lord, and _the propitiation for_ my _sins_. I know he _hath loved_ me, _and given himself for_ me. He _hath reconciled_ me, _even_ me _to God_; and I _have redemption through his blood even the forgiveness of sins_. 8. Such a faith as this, cannot fail to shew evidently the power of him that inspires it, by delivering his children from the yoke of sin, and _purging_ their _consciences from dead works_: by strengthning them so, that they are no longer constrained to _obey sin in the desires thereof_; but instead of _yielding their members unto_ it _as instruments of unrighteousness_, they now _yield_ themselves entirely _unto God, as those that are alive from the dead_.
