FAITH is the soul’s reception of a divine testimony. It is my heart simply assenting to what God says. When He says, I am utterly lost— “This, my son, was lost and is found,”
I believe it. That is faith. When He says, “It is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners,” I believe it. That is faith. When He says, “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life,” I believe it. That is faith. So then by faith I learn I am lost, that Christ came to save, and that believing Him I have eternal life. Faith is a very simple thing. There is no question of feeling.
