in The Primitive Baptist (Jun. 1839)
[T]HE TRUE BELIEVER KNOWS, that it takes grace to save and that it is grace; and that grace opened his understanding; so that he believed that he was a lost sinner, a blind sinner, a helpless sinner; a condemned sinner; all these things are brought to pass by the spirit of grace leading the soul to faith, faith is belief, belief in Jesus the Saviour, who came to seek and save that which was lost; and faith points to that grace given in Christ, that did and does and will save. This is what is called a saving knowledge, the belief of which is faith and leads the sinner to repent, and that with a godly sorrow, and that godly sorrow works repentance, not to be repented of and that work is a good work; but it was not that work that saved the sinner, but it was produced from a knowledge of his salvation; it produced obedience, humbleness, meekness, faithfulness, honesty and righteousness and all the fruits of the Spirit, which grow out of the new birth. |
