If my faith go no further than simply an intellectual assent that God is, then I have gone no further than the devils' faith. I have not reached the faith by which the just live. I must not only be intellectually convinced that God is, and that He has made provision for my needs in the grace that is in Jesus Christ, but I must be so emotionally convinced that my heart shall consent to Him and to His provision. The assent of the intellect must pass on into the consent of the heart. Thus I do not simply believe that because the steamer is what she is I might make a safe voyage to Europe in her, but I am willing to stand upon her deck and intrust myself to her buoyancy, strength, trustworthy crew, skilful captain.
