“It is not enough merely to know the promise of Christ as our righteousness and assent to it. Alas, there must be a stripping of a man's self naked of his own righteousness and a resting on this righteousness of Christ's alone.
David stripped himself of his armor, and so went out against Goliath in the name of the Lord. Adam was naked and saw it before God made the promise of Christ.” (Paraphrased a bit)

“In this believing (in Christ) we set our seal that God is true; and God will, in due time, if He has not done so already, set His seal to work assurance in you, to second your reliance. "But if you believe not, thus you make God a liar" (1 John 5:10).
Though you assent to the truth of the promises of Christ, yet if you draw back your affiance and relying, as if the promises were not to you, you give God the lie.
