William Bridge on God’s acceptance of our duties

[clawrence9008]

“Though there be many failings in a godly man’s performance of duty, yet so long as it is a duty, there is somewhat of Christ therein, there is somewhat of God therein. Now God will not cast away his own, because it is mixed with ours; he will rather pardon ours, and accept ours, because it is mixed with his.”

— William Bridge, A Lifting Up for the Downcast, p. 136

One of my first Puritan books and still one of my favorites to re-visit.
