With the heart we believe and because we believe we come to Christ. We turn to Christ and we look to Christ. Our faith is directional. It is dynamic. It is mobile.
Faith is a leaning grace.
It leans on God. Faith is a grace that wraps the soul around its Saviour, not all that far removed from love. It is a personal relationship. It begins with the belief that, in the light of all the information we have, Christ is trustworthy. But my faith moves on from that to the actual commitment, and that is brought out fully in many of the biblical metaphors.
