Faith—saving faith—whatever other definitions may be framed—is best described as that act of the soul by which the whole man is given over to the guardianship of the Mediator. He who thus resigns himself to Jesus avouches two things; first, his belief that he needs a protector; secondly, his belief that Christ is just that protector which his necessities require. And though you may resolve saving faith into more numerous elements, you will find that these two are not only the chief, but that they include all others out of which it is constituted; so that he who believes in Christ, gives himself up to the keeping of Christ.
