So the very dawning of grace, and good will to Christ, grace peeping out from under a mass of darkness in believers, is pleasant and acceptable to him, as the break of day is to the weary traveller. Though the remains of unbelief make the hand of faith to shake and tremble; yet the Lord is so well pleased with it, that he employs it to carry away pardons and supplies of grace, from the throne of grace, and the fountain of grace. His faith was effectual, who “cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe, help thou mine unbelief,” Mark ix. 24.
Thomas Boston — Human Nature in its Fourfold State (Philadelphia: Presbyterian Board of Publication), on the acceptance of believers' fruits of holiness as a benefit of union with Christ, p. 210
