Ps. 73;24.—Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.—Isa. 2;3.—Ps. 119;105.—John 16;13.

John 10;27, 28.—My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. Heb. 7;24, 25,—1 Cor. 15;25.—Matt. 16;18.

*32. But why art thou called a Christian?

Because I am a member of Christ by faith (Gal. 2;20); and thus am partaker of his anointing (1 Cor. 1;21); that so I may confess his name (Matt. 10;32), and present myself a living sacrifice of thankfulness to him (Rom. 12;1); and also, that with a free and good conscience I may fight against sin and Satan in this life (Eph. 6;11, 12); and afterwards reign with him eternally, over all creatures (2 Tim. 2;12).

Matt. 10;32.—Whosoever, therefore, shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.—1 Pet. 2;9.—Rom. 10;9.

Rom. 12;1.—I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.—1 Pet. 2;5.

Eph. 6;11, 12.—Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.—Rom. 6;12, 13.—1 Pet. 5;8, 9.—1 Tim. 1;18.
