The Godly Man's Picture is a work of systematic theology by Thomas Watson, a 17th century English Puritan preacher.
Showing the Mystic Union between Christ and the Saints The Puritan understanding of godliness as fundamentally relational rather than propositional runs throughout the book.
Using strongly romantic language from the Song of Solomon and other parts of the Bible, Watson speaks of "a conjugal union between Christ and believers" (239).
He further states that "the joy that flows from the mystic union is unspeakable and full of glory" (241).
Watson's writing is known for its quotability due to its succession of compact but meaning-filled statements reiterating and refining key points.
