Almost all the saved number were, at some part of their lives, weak in faith, and yet, by the grace of Christ, they held out to the end, and are crowned. 'I was a poor trembling creature,' shall one say, 'but I was confirmed in my faith and holiness by the gospel of Christ; or I rested on a naked promise and found support, because Christ was there, and he shall have the glory of it.' "In him are all the promises yea, and in him Amen, to the glory of the Father," 2 Cor. i. 20, 21, 22. And the Son shall share in this glory, for he died to ratify these promises, and he lives to fulfil them.
Isaac Watts — "Christ Admired and Glorified in His Saints," on 2 Thessalonians 1:10, in The World to Come: or, Discourses on the Joys or Sorrows of Death, Judgment and Eternity (Dayton: B. F. Ells, 1836), p. 85
