God Gives Us Even the Faith That Leads to Salvation as a Gift ㅡ

 “for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;” (Ephesians 2:8)

Truth, uprightness, purity, are pointed out as secrets of life′s success.

It is faith that puts us in possession of these.

Every good impulse or aspiration is the gift of God.

Where there is not only a belief in God’s Word, but a submission of the will to Him; where the heart is yielded to Him, the affections fixed upon Him, there is faith—faith that works by love and purifies the soul.

Through this faith the heart is renewed in the image of God.

And the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us, “who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” (Romans 8:1).

Faith earns nothing for us; it is the gift of God, which we may receive and cherish by making Christ our personal Saviour.

 (The Faith I Live By 90)
