Even everyone that is called by my name
That is called by the name of God, a son or daughter of his; or
by the name of Christ, a Christian; whoever belongs to the Lord,
whom he calls by his name; and who, being called by his grace,
call upon his name, make a profession of his name, and serve and
worship him: for I have created him for my glory, I have
formed him, yea, I have
made him;
all which is expressive of the power and grace of God, in the
regeneration and conversion of his people; which is a creation, a
formation, a making them for himself, for the glory of his grace,
and to show forth his praise; and therefore he will gather them
in, and bring them into a body together, into a church state,
that this end may be answered.
