2. As it is through Him they acquire a right to all the privileges of the children of God in a present and future state.
II. HOW WE OUGHT TO GLORY IN HIM BY WHOM WE ARE THUS JUSTIFIED.
1. By entertaining suitable affections towards our Divine Redeemer.
2. Those who glory in Christ must avow their regard to Him before the world, and particularly by a frequent and devout attendance on the ordinances of the Gospel.
3. We must glorify Him by an active and steady zeal to promote the interests of His kingdom.
4. The seed of Israel are to glorify Christ by their patience and constancy under all their afflictions, especially those that are endured for His sake. (A. Hunter, D. D.)
