Praise God—it is almost Sunday! Here is Thomas Watson, from his, "A Body of Divinity” book:
“Let us go to Christ's blood for our peace. Some people try to gain their peace from their own righteousness, not Christ’s righteousness. These people seek their peace from their own [allegedly] holy life, and not from Christ's death. If their conscience is troubled, they try to quiet it with their [religious] duties."This is not the right way to get true peace. Duties must not by any means be neglected, and they are certainly not to be idolized. Let us look to the blood of Christ’s sprinkling, (Heb. 12:24). That blood of Christ which pacified God, must pacify our consciences. Christ's blood is taken in by us by faith; and it gives us perfect peace. 'Being justified by faith, we have peace with God,' (Rom 5:1). There is no medicine to cure a wounded conscience, other than that of the blood of Christ."
