Fulton Confession of Faith/Chapter XII

1. All those that are justified, God vouchsafed, in and for the sake of His only Son Jesus Christ, to make partakers of the grace of adoption,[1] by which they are taken into the number, and enjoy the liberties and privileges of children of God,[2] have His name put on them,[3] receive the spirit of adoption,[4] have access to the throne of grace with boldness, are enabled to cry Abba, Father,[5] are pitied,[6] protected,[7] provided for,[8] and chastened by Him as by a Father,[9] yet never cast off,[10] but sealed to the day of redemption,[11] and inherit the promises as heirs of everlasting salvation.[12]
