“Christians, remember this is your happiness and blessedness:

 * That ‘none can pluck you out of your Father’s hand,’ (**John 10:29**);
 * That you are ‘kept,’ as in a garrison, or as with a guard, ‘by the power of God
   through faith unto salvation,’ (**1 Peter 1:5**);
 * ‘That the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but the kindness 
   of the Lord shall not depart from you, neither shall the covenant of peace be
   removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on you,’ (**Isa. 54:10**)’
 * ‘That Christ ever lives to make intercession for you,’ (**Heb. 7:25**);
 * And that men and devils are as able, and shall as soon, make a world, dethrone
   God, pluck the sun out of the firmament, and Christ out of the bosom of the Father,
   as they shall pluck a believer out of the everlasting arms of Christ, or rob 
   him of one of his precious jewels, (**Deut. 33:26-27)**.

I shall close up this chapter with an excellent saying of Luther:

> ‘The whole Scripture,’ saith he, ‘doth principally aim at this thing, that we 
> should not doubt, but that we should hope, that we should trust, that we should
> believe, that God is a merciful, a bountiful, a gracious, and a patient God to
> his people.'”
