I. For the first, I shall only produce some few places of
Scripture to confirm it, that it is so:— 1 Cor. i.
9, “God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship
of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” This is that whereunto all the saints
are called, and wherein, by the faithfulness of God, they shall be
preserved, even fellowship with Jesus Christ our Lord. We are called of
God the Father, as the Father, in pursuit of his love, to communion with
the Son, as our Lord.
