A nominal faith in Christ, which accepts Him merely as the Saviour of the world, can never bring healing to the soul. The faith that is unto salvation is not a mere intellectual assent to the truth. He who waits for entire knowledge before he will exercise faith cannot receive blessing from God. Many hold faith as an opinion. Saving faith is a transaction by which those who receive Christ join themselves in covenant relation with God.
Genuine faith is life.
A living faith means an increase of vigor, a confiding trust, by which the soul becomes a conquering power. True faith is that which receives Christ as a personal Saviour. When I come to Christ, according to His word, I am to believe that I receive His saving grace. The apostle Paul clearly presents the relation between faith and the law under the new covenant.
