William Ames (8)
Theology is doctrine or teaching of living to God.
Adoption is the gracious sentence of God whereby He accepts the faithful for Christ's sake unto the dignity of sons.Marrow of Sacred Divinity, 135
Justification, of course, has no degrees and is completed at one moment and in only one act. Yet, in manifestation, consciousness, and effects it has many degrees.The Marrow of Theology, 161

The will of God is eternal because He does not begin to will what before He would not nor ceases to will that which before He willed.
Faith is a resting of the heart on God, as on the author of life and eternal salvation. That is to say, that by him we may be freed from all evil, and obtain all good.https://www.monergism.com/faith-2
For the church is a company of men that are called (1 Cor. 1:24; 10:32), both Jews and Greeks, to the Jews, to the Greeks, and to the church of God. But because the end of calling is faith, and the work of faith is engrafting into Christ, and this union with Christ does bring with it communion with Christ. Hence it is defined, in the very same sense, a company of believers, a company of those who are in Christ, a company of those that have communion with Christ.
The first act of religion, therefore, concerns those things which are communicated to us from God. The other concerns those things which we yield to God.
