Chapter 12. Of Adoption

Paragraph 1: All those that are justified, God vouchsafed, in and for the sake of his only Son Jesus Christ, to make partakers of the grace of adoption, 1 by which they are taken into the number, and enjoy the liberties and privileges of the children of God, 2 have His name put on them, 3 receive the spirit of adoption, 4 have access to the throne of grace with boldness, are enabled to cry Abba, Father, 5 are pitied, 6 protected, 7 provided for, 8 and chastened by Him as by a Father, 9 yet never cast off, 10 but sealed to the day of redemption, 11 and inherit the promises as heirs of everlasting salvation. 12
