Without faith in Jesus Christ we can do nothing profitable to salvation; faith being the source of prayer, prayer of grace, and grace enabling us to keep the law. The voice of the law is, "The man that doeth them, shall live in them" (Gal. iii. 12). The knowledge of the law can only make us sensible of our own inabilities, but cannot help us. It is not only remission of sins, that Jesus Christ has merited for us by His death, but grace to do good.
