Chapter 14: Of Saving Faith
1. The grace of faith, by which the elect are enabled to believe to the saving of their souls,a is the work of the Spirit of Christ in their hearts.b Faith is ordinarily given through the ministry of the Word.c Faith is increased and strengthened by the ministry of the Word, the administration of the sacraments, and prayer.d
aHebrews 10:39 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; b2 Corinthians
4:13 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Ephesians 1:17–19 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Ephesians 2:8 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; cRomans 10:14,
17 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; d1 Peter 2:2 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Acts 20:32 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Romans 4:11 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Luke 17:5 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Romans 1:16–17 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
2. By this faith, a Christian[1] believes to be true whatever is revealed in the Word due to the authority of God Himself speaking in it.a He acts in an appropriate manner to what each particular passage in the Word contains: yielding obedience to the commands,b trembling at the threatenings,c and embracing the promises of God for this life and that which is to come.d But the principal acts of saving faith are accepting, receiving, and trusting in Christ alone for justification, sanctification, and eternal life, by virtue of the covenant of grace.e
aJohn 4:42 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Thessalonians 2:13 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 John 5:10 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Acts 24:14 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; bRomans 16:26 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; cIsaiah 66:2 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; dHebrews 11:13 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Timothy 4:8 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; eJohn 1:12 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Acts 16:31 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Galatians 2:20 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Acts 15:11 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
3. This faith is different in degrees, weak or strong.a Often, and in many ways, it may be assailed and weakened. But it gets the victory,b growing up in many to the attainment of a full assurance through Christ,c who is both the author and finisher of our faith.d
