1689 Justification Part 3, and Adoption.

We finish up chapter 11 of our confession, and move on to chapter 12 on adoption, find the text below:
1689 11:6. In all these ways, the justification of believers under the Old Testament was exactly the same as the justification of believers under the New Testament.
12:1: 1. God has granted that all those who are justified would receive the grace of adoption, in and for the sake of his only Son Jesus Christ. By this they are counted among the children of God and enjoy the freedom and privileges of that relationship. They inherit his name, receive the spirit of adoption, have access to the throne of grace with boldness, and are enabled to cry “Abba, Father!” They are given compassion, protected, provided for, and chastened by him as a father. Yet they are never cast off but are sealed for the day of redemption and inherit the promises as heirs of everlasting salvation.
