“Faith is not our saviour. It was not faith that was born at Bethlehem and
died on Golgotha for us. It was not faith that loved us, and gave itself for us;
that bore our sins in its own body on the tree; that died and rose again for our
sins. Faith is one thing, the Saviour is another. Faith is one thing, and the
cross is another. Let us not confound them, nor ascribe to a poor, imperfect act
of man, that which belongs exclusively to the Son of the Living God.
Our security is this, that it matters not how poor or weak our faith maybe:
if it touches the perfect One, all is well. God has asked and provided a perfect
righteousness; He nowhere asks nor expects a perfect faith. So a feeble, very
feeble faith, will connect us with the righteousness of the Son of God; the
faith, perhaps, that can only cry, ‘Lord, I believe; help mine
unbelief.’
”
