When St. Paul teaches, that we are justified by faith, exclusive of all legal works, he does not by it mean an assent to any common truth: such as, that God created the world, or the existence of angels; but a faith in Christ, not as a mere creator, but as a saviour of sinners; or, as he calls it, "faith in his blood." But the faith which St. James denies as sufficient to justify one, is not this faith; but the faith, that there is one God, which he also represents as dead without works. "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe and tremble."
