Westminster
Confession of Faith - Chap. 14 - Saving Faith
By
this faith, a Christian believes to be true whatsoever is revealed in
the Word, for the authority of God himself speaking therein; and acts
differently upon that which each particular passage contains;
yielding obedience to the commands, trembling at the threatenings,
and embracing the promises of God for this life, and that which is to
come. But the principal acts of saving faith are accepting,
receiving, and resting upon Christ alone for justification,
sanctification, and eternal life, by virtue of the covenant of grace.
Faith is a response to God's written word. Faith does not arise from ourselves or apart from Scripture. Test your own faith by this rule - What does Scripture say? Whatever Scripture says, God says and I believe.
