Praise God—it is almost Sunday! In order to help get us ready for church, here is Thomas Watson, from his book entitled, "The Ten Commandments.”
"Faith in Christ is acceptable to God because it is a self-denying grace; it makes a man go out of himself, renounce all self-righteousness, and wholly rely on Christ for justification. It is very humble, it confesses its own spiritual bankruptcy, and lives wholly upon Christ. As the bee gets sweetness from the flower, so faith gets all its strength and comfort from Christ."Faith is a grace that is acceptable to God, because by faith we present a righteousness to Him which best pleases Him: we bring the righteousness of Christ into court, which is called 'the righteousness of God,’ (2 Cor 5:21). . . . A believer may say, 'Lord, it is not the righteousness of Adam, or of the angels, but of Christ who is God-Man, that I bring before You.' The Lord can-not but smell a sweet savor in Christ's righteousness."
