Faith is a refining grace, it consecrates and purifies. Moral virtue may wash the outside, but faith washes the inside. Having purified their hearts by faith. They whose hearts have legions of lust in them, were never acquainted with the true faith. For one to say he has faith, and yet lives in sin, is as if one should say he was in health when his vitals are perished.
Faith is a virgin grace, it is joined with sanctity.
Holding the mystery of faith in a pure conscience. The jewel of faith is always put in the cabinet of a pure conscience. The woman that touched Christ by faith fetched a healing and cleansing virtue from him. True faith is obedient. The obedience of faith.
