We hardly need mention that the man of faith believes to the saving of his soul. Notwithstanding his unworthiness and his crimson guilt, since the Redeemer has come, since atonement has been made, the believer trusts in God for pardon and eternal life. Looking back to his guilty life, he believes that Jesus Christ has borne his sins in his own body, and that by his stripes he is healed. He looks forward to the dark valley, and the shadow of death, and believes that God will support and save him. He believes that he shall be admitted to mount Zion, the city of the living God. He is admitted. Such is the efficacy of faith; it saves the soul.
