{"id":"25.1","chapter":25,"number":1,"text":"Two Priviledges flow out of our Justification by Faith in Christ, (viz.) Our Reconciliation, and Adoption, or Sonship. Reconciliation is a gracious Priviledge, whereby we that were Enemies, are made Friends; or we that were Enemies, Rebels, and Aliens, are received into Favour, or brought near to God through Faith in Christ Jesus. And Adoption is that power and priviledge to be the Sons of God, through Faith in Christ our Surety, who being the Eternal Son of God, became by Incarnation our Brother, that by him God might bring many Sons unto Glory; according to his Eternal Decree of preserving the Humane Nature of Christ, that it never fell in Adam. And so we are, by Faith according to God’s free Grace, and Christ’s Purchase, or Redemption, and the Holy Spirits application of it to us, made Heirs, and Joint-heirs with Christ our Elder Brother, of the same Kingdom and stupendous and utterable Glory, for ever and ever.","segments":[{"text":"Two Priviledges flow out of our Justification by Faith in Christ, (viz.)
