Puritan Quote of the Day - Thomas Wilcox

"Believing is the most wonderful thing in the world. Put anything of your own to it, and you spoil it. Christ will not esteem it believing. When you believe and come to Christ you must leave behind your own righteousness (oh, that is hard!), all your holiness, santifications, duties, tears, humblings, etc., and bring nothing but your sins, your wants and miseries, else Christ is not fit for you, nor you for Christ."
-Thomas Wilcox? (1549 - 1608)
