Such defects in obedience make no flaw in your Justification. For your Justification is not built upon your obedience, 1but upon Christs, Rom. 3. 24. and how incomplete and defective soever you be in your selves, yet at the same instant, you are complete in him which is the head of all principality and power, Col. 2. 10. Woe to Abraham, Moses, David, Paul, and the most eminent Saints that ever lived, if their Justification and acceptation with God had depended upon the perfection and completeness of their own obedience.
