What Is Faith?
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1.
It is not essential to the exercise of faith that the feelings
should be wrought up to a high pitch of excitement; neither
is it necessary, in order to gain the hearing of the Lord, that
our petitions should be noisy, or attended with physical
exercise.
It is true that Satan frequently creates in the heart of the
suppliant such a conflict with doubt and temptation that
strong cries and tears are involuntarily forced from him; and
it is also true that the penitent's sense of guilt is sometimes
so great that a repentance commensurate with his sin causes
him to experience an agony that finds vent in cries and
groans, which the compassionate Saviour hears with pity.
But Jesus does not fail to answer the silent prayer of faith.
He who simply takes God at His word, and reaches out to
connect himself with the Saviour, will receive His blessing
in return.
Faith is not feeling. True faith is in no sense allied to
presumption. Only he who has true faith is secure against
presumption, for presumption is Satan's counterfeit of faith.
Faith claims God's promises, and brings forth fruit in
obedience. Presumption also claims the promises, but uses
them as Satan did, to excuse transgression. Faith would
have led our first parents to trust the love of God and to
obey His commands. Presumption led them to transgress
His law, believing that His great love would save them from
the consequences of their sin. It is not faith that claims the
favor of Heaven without complying with the conditions on
which mercy is to be granted. Genuine faith has its
foundation in the promises and provisions of the Scriptures.
To abide in faith is to put aside feeling and selfish
desires, to walk humbly with the Lord, to appropriate His
promises, and apply them to all occasions, believing that
God will work out His own plans and purposes in your heart
and life.
The Faith I Live By, page 123
Could we with ink
the ocean fill,
And were the skies of
parchment made,
Were every stalk
on earth a quill,
And every man
a scribe by trade,
To write the love
of God above,
Would drain
the ocean dry.
Nor could the scroll
contain the whole,
Though stretched
from sky to sky.
