Essex Congregational Remembrancer 2 Timothy 2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory… I. LET US CONSIDER THE NATURE OF THIS SALVATION. 1. It is a salvation from the condemnation of a broken law. 2. It is a salvation from the power and dominion of sin. 3. It is a salvation from the bondage of Satan. 4. It is a salvation from the temporary triumphs of the grave. II. LET US INQUIRE IN WHAT RESPECTS THIS SALVATION IS IN CHRIST JESUS. Because it was with His Son Christ Jesus that God was pleased to enter into covenant, respecting human redemption, before the world was. III. LET US GLANCE AT THE ETERNAL GLORY WITH WHICH THIS SALVATION IS CONNECTED. 1. The persons of the saints will then be glorious. The body will be no longer subject to hunger and thirst, to pain and weariness, or to disease and decay. And then in respect to the soul, it will be formed after the Divine image, in righteousness and true holiness, made to partake, so far as a finite creature is capable, of the image of God. 2. The mansions of which the redeemed shall take possession will be glorious. 3. The society to which they will be admitted will be glorious. 4. The employments of the believer will be glorious.
