FAITH in God’s word is submission to and acceptance of the word. In everyday life it is often impossible to get people to believe facts, simply because such facts are beyond the conception of those addressed; but when the fact presented is backed up with the personal assurance of the speaker, though it be not understood, it will be believed or disbelieved, according as the truthfulness and reliability of the speaker be accepted. Now in the things of God, as expressed in His word, we are met with the character of God. Do we, let us ask ourselves, believe God? Is God true? We may believe when we cannot understand. “He that hath received His testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.” (John 3:3333He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. (John 3:33)).
