一．信心的美德是基督之灵在选民心里的工作（林后4:13；弗1:17-19；2:8），
使他们能够信而得救（来10:39），这信心通常是藉着听道而成（罗10:14，17），并藉
着圣道的宣讲、圣礼的施行和祈祷，得以增加并巩固（彼前2:2；徒20:32；罗4:11；路
17:5；罗1:16，17）。
二．藉此信心，基督徒相信圣经中所启示的都是真实可靠的，因为是上帝自己的权
威在其中说话（约4:42；帖前2:13；约壹5:10；徒24:14）。基督徒也藉此信心照着每段
经文所说的分别去行：服从其命令（罗16:26），因其警诫而战兢（赛66:2），并坚信上
帝对今世来生的应许（来11:13；提前4:8）。但得救信心的主要活动，还在于使人因恩
典之约，惟独接受并信赖基督，以至于称义，成圣，并承受永生（约1:12；徒16:31；加
2:20；徒15:11）。
三．这信心是程度不同，强弱不一的（来5:13-14;罗4:19-20;太6:30;8:10）；它可能
屡次多方受打击，被削弱，但终必得胜（路22:31-32；弗6:16；约壹5:4-5）；它在许多
人里面不断成长，直到藉着那为我们信心创始成终的基督（来12:2），获得充足的确信
（来6:11，12；10:22；西2:2）。 | C****i

OF SAVING FAITH
1. The grace of faith, whereby the elect are enabled to believe to the savin
g of their souls, is the work of the Spirit of Christ in their hearts, and i
s ordinarily wrought by the ministry of the Word, by which also, and by the
administration of the sacraments, and prayer, it is increased and strengthen
ed.
2. By this faith, a Christian believeth to be true whatsoever is revealed in
the Word, for the authority of God himself speaking therein; and acteth dif
ferently upon that which each particular passage thereof containeth; yieldin
g obedience to the commands, trembling at the threatenings, and embracing th
e promises of God for this life, and that which is to come. But the principa
l acts of saving faith are accepting, receiving, and resting upon Christ alo
ne for justification, sanctification, and eternal life, by virtue of the cov
enant of grace.
3. This faith is different in degrees, weak or strong; may be often and many
ways assailed, and weakened, but gets the victory: growing up in many to th
e attainment of a full assurance, through Christ, who is both the author and
finisher of our faith.

Of Saving Faith
I. The grace of faith, whereby the elect are enabled to believe to the savin
g of their souls,[279] is the work of the Spirit of Christ in their hearts,[
280] and is ordinarily wrought by the ministry of the Word,[281] by which al
so, and by the administration of the sacraments, and prayer, it is increased
and strengthened.[282]
II. By this faith, a Christian believeth to be true whatsoever is revealed i
n the Word, for the authority of God himself speaking therein;[283] and acte
th differently upon that which each particular passage thereof containeth; y
ielding obedience to the commands,[284] trembling at the threatenings,[285]
and embracing the promises of God for this life, and that which is to come.[
286] But the principal acts of saving faith are accepting, receiving, and re
sting upon Christ alone for justification, sanctification, and eternal life,
by virtue of the covenant of grace.[287]
III. This faith is different in degrees, weak or strong;[288] may be often a
nd many ways assailed, and weakened, but gets the victory:[289] growing up i
n many to the attainment of a full assurance, through Christ,[290] who is bo
th the author and finisher of our faith.[291]
[279] Hebrews 10:39. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; bu
t of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
[280] 2 Corinthians 4:13. We having the same spirit of faith, according as i
t is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and
therefore speak. Ephesians 1:17-19. That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, t
he Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in
the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; tha
t ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the gl
ory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of
his power to usward who believe, according to the working of his mighty pow
er. Ephesians 2:8. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God.
[281] Romans 10:14, 17. How then shall they call on him in whom they have no
t believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? a
nd how shall they hear without a preacher? So then faith cometh by hearing,
and hearing by the word of God.
[282] 1 Peter 2:2. As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, th
at ye may grow thereby. Acts 20:32. And now, brethren, I commend you to God,
and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give yo
u an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. Romans 4:11. And he re
ceived the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith wh
ich he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them
that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be im
puted unto them also. Luke 17:5. And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increa
se our faith. Romans 1:16-17. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:
for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to th
e Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God
revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith
.
[283] John 4:42. And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy
saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the C
hrist, the Saviour of the world. 1 Thessalonians 2:13. For this cause also t
hank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which
ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in trut
h, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe. 1 Jo
hn 5:10. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he
that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the r
ecord that God gave of his Son. Acts 24:14. But this I confess unto thee, th
at after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers,
believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets.
[284] Romans 16:26. But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the p
rophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to
all nations for the obedience of faith.
[285] Isaiah 66:2. For all those things hath mine hand made, and those thing
s have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that i
s poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
[286] Hebrews 11:13. These all died in faith, not having received the promis
es, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced
them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 1 Ti
mothy 4:8. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable
unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which
is to come.
[287] John 1:12. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to becom
e the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. Acts 16:31. And th
ey said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy
house. Galatians 2:20. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet
not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I
live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Acts 15:11. But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ
we shall be saved, even as they.
[288] Hebrews 5:13-14. For every one that useth milk is unskillful in the wo
rd of righteousness; for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them tha
t are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercis
ed to discern both good and evil. Romans 4:19-20. And being not weak in fait
h, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred yea
rs old, heither yet the deadness of Sarah?s womb. He staggered not at the pr
omise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God.
Matthew 6:30. Shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Matt
hew 8:10. When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to them that followed,
Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
[289] Luke 22:31-32. And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Stan hath desi
red to have you, that he may sift you as wheat; but I have prayed for thee,
that thy faith fail not; and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethre
n. Ephesians 6:16. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall
be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 1 John 5:4-5. For what
soever is born of God, overcometh the world; and this is the victory that ov
ercometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but
he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
[290] Hebrews 6:11-12. And we desire that every one of you do show the same
dilligence, to the full assurance of hope unto the end; that ye be not sloth
ful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promis
es. Hebrews 10:22. Let us draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of
faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies w
ashed with pure water.
[291] Hebrews 12:2. Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith
