Living by Faith

| Saturday, July 08, 2006

There are many promises made of this benefit. Now it is faith that recieves the promises: "I will forgive their iniquities and remember their sins no more", (Jer 31:34). Now, wherever there is a promise, there must be faith; for as the law with all its threatenings to the fallen creature is the strength of sin (1 Cor 15:56), 'The strength of sin is the law'), so, the gospel, with its promises, is the strength of faith; and therefore our comfort thence ariseth, If we would live and act comfortably on the promises, we must live by faith. [Thomas Manton]
