Faith & Trust
God’s invariable rule is faith first and feeling second, in everything.
A great many Christians are slaves to the habit of doubting.
All faith that turns towards Jesus is the right faith. It may bring no conscience rapture. It may be as weak as the woman’s touch on His garment’s hem.
Why then do we calculate our forces, and consult with flesh and blood to our grievous wounding?
A jealous and holy distrust of self may give rise to the question even in the believer’s heart, but the continuance of such a doubt would be an evil indeed.
What shall I do to be saved?
Doubts are all from the devil, and are always untrue. And the only way to meet them is by a direct and emphatic denial.
