Faith, though it may be weak and imperfect, instead of exalting itself against the justice of God, and standing before him in the confidence of a lie, puts all from itself, and ascribes to God the whole glory of our salvation. We shall close this little argument with observing, that faith is not understood, much less possessed, if it is not productive of more holiness, and more gracious affections, than could possibly be attained in any other way.
Henry Venn — Henry Venn, The Complete Duty of Man: or, A System of Doctrinal and Practical Christianity (treatment of justifying faith).
