“Though you may think it a very ordinary thing to obey God in all things, you will find that a man had need to set his face like a flint in order to keep the right road—and the only way in which he will be able to hold on his way will be by having faith in God!
Let him say, ‘God commands and, therefore, I must do it,’ and he will be strong! Let him feel, ‘God commands and, therefore, He will bear me through,’ and he will be strong! Let him say, ‘God commands and He will recompense me,’ and he will be strong!
We are not saved by obedience, for obedience is the result of salvation! We are saved by faith, because faith leads us to obey! Faith is weakness clinging to strength and becoming strong through so doing. Faith in God made the cripple at the Temple gate stand, walk, leap and praise God—and even so does faith make our sin-crippled manhood obey the will of the Lord with exultation.”
