Ezekiel 11:20

This is the end grace aimeth at, converting us to God, that we may walk with God. Walk: see Ezekiel 11:12. My statutes; the rule of religious worship. Mine ordinances; standards in civil affairs and matters of right and wrong with men. They shall be my people; they shall give themselves up to me for to be my people, to love me, trust me, and to worship and. obey me, and I will take them to be mine; I will approve, encourage, bless, guide, and protect them, that it shall be seen they are my peculiar people. This contains all duty and privilege, as including both, and is again inculcated in the other part of the promise. I will be their God, to pardon sin, give grace, supply wants, guide their ways, accept their duties, defend their persons, and lead them to glory. See Ezekiel 36:25 Jeremiah 31:33, where Jeremiah, contemporary to Ezekiel, proposeth the same promise to this people.
