Faith must have an object. The object of Christian faith is Christ. Faith means more than an intellectual assent to the claims of Christ. Faith involves the will. It is volitional.
Faith demands action.
If we actually believe, then we will live. Faith without works is dead. Faith actually means surrender and commitment to the claims of Christ. It means an acknowledgment of sin and a turning to Christ. In reading carefully through the New Testament to see just what kind of an experience you can expect, I find that the New Testament sets forth only one.
