HENCE, WE SEE THE FOLLY of trusting in natural faith, as it is not, nor can it ever be, subject to the law by which living faith is governed. It can never reach to that within the veil “whither the forerunner has for us entered, even Jesus,” but is of that perishable kind which devils possess; and can never reach beyond the grave. But not so with living faith; it invariably springs from a living source, and has for its end and object, the final salvation of all those who are its happy recipients. “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus
Christ.” —II. Cor. iv: 6. |
