John6:39

39 And this is the Fathers will which hath sent me, That of all which he hath given me, I should lose nothing , but should raise it up again at the last day .

For this he revealeth to be his Fathers will, that of all his Father had given him, he should lose none; where by the Fathers giving must be meant, either his Eternal Act (having chosen some to Eternal Life) in giving them to his Son, for the work of their Redemption; or, which is but the effect and product of that, the working, preserving, and upholding in them those Habits and Exercises of Grace, by which that Eternal Life is to be obtained. Our Lord declareth it to be the will of his Father, That he should not suffer any of these to miscarry;

but tho their Bodies dye and turn into dust, yet Christ at the last day should come to raise the Dead, and in particular, raise them up; not that they onely shall rise, (for how then shall all appear before the Judgment-seat of God, to receive according to what they have done in the Flesh?) but they are those alone who shall receive any benefit by the Resurrection; and therefore they are called the Children of the Resurrection; and the Resurrection is sometimes spoken of in Scripture as if it were to be peculiar to them, Phil. 3.11. By this the certainty of the Resurrection is established; it being asserted, as the effect of the will of God, which none hath resisted at any time.
