True Faith



THE LOVELY FLOWER OF TRUE FAITH does not grow naturally in the briar-invested human heart. Such is the wickedness of every man that we could never produce anything so beautiful as this virtue. Faith is, therefore, a gracious gift which God the Holy Spirit gives to undeserving sinners through His regenerating power.

But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” [JOHN 1:12-13].

True faith looks with disdain upon any other hope of salvation than this, Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Faith that originates with the Lord has this distinction, it trusts Christ whose blood and righteousness merit our complete acceptance with God. Genuine faith embraces and rests upon the blessed Savior as He is set forth in the Holy Scriptures.
