Faith endures as seeing Him who is invisible; endures the disappointments, the hardships, and the heart-aches of life, by recognizing that all comes from the hand of Him who is too wise to err and too loving to be unkind.
Seek not to understand that thou mayest believe, but believe that thou mayest understand.
Faith is to believe what we do not see, and the reward of this faith is to see what we believe.
Faith, as Paul saw it, was a living, flaming thing leading to surrender and obedience to the commandments of Christ.
"Let God be true but every man a liar" is the language of true faith.
There is a very real danger of our putting our faith in our sermon rather than in the Spirit. Our faith should not be in the sermon, it should be in the Holy Spirit Himself.

Faith is this extraordinary principle which links man to God; faith is this thing that keeps a man from hell and puts him in heaven; it is the connection between this world and the world to come; faith is this mystic astounding thing that can take a man dead in trespasses and sins and make him live as a new being, a new man in Christ Jesus.
