More Tidbits from Charles Bridges’ Commentary

“Child of God! let the trembling of insufficiency in thyself be stayed by the recollection of all-sufficiency in thy God.  What he demands of thee, that he works in thee.  His covenant secures thy holiness, no less than thine acceptance – thine holiness, not, as some would have it, as the gound, but as the fruit, of thine acceptance.  Let the one then be primarily sought; and the other will assuredly follow.  “I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts…for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sins no more.’  (Jer. 31: 33, 34)’”
