Faith

Living by faith is not a single act, but something habitual and permanent. Faith is a constant dependence upon God, as he is made known in his attributes. The divine attributes are the pillows and grounds of our faith. Faith believes them and claims them. Study the attributes of God. Labour to know them distinctly and effectually. The more we know, the more we trust.
