FAITH

 

Faith is simply believing God, taking him at his Word. It is a living principle in the hearts of God's elect. "The Just shall live by faith." We believe God for eternal salvation in Christ, trusting the merits of his righteousness and shed blood. We believe God for our preservation in Christ, resting in the promise and power of his grace. And we believe God to care for us in our daily lives. Knowing the goodness, wisdom, and power of his providence, we cast all our care upon him and submit to his will. This is the faith of God's elect. (Pro. 3:5-6)
