God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
I sometimes wonder that you do not get tired of my preaching, because I do nothing but hammer away on this one nail. With me it is, year after year, "None but Jesus!" Oh, you great saints, if you have outgrown the need of a sinner's trust in the Lord Jesus, you have outgrown your sins, but you have also outgrown your grace, and your saintship has ruined you!
There are at least 3 kinds of Christian faith:
1. Saving faith (product of the new birth).
2. Sanctifying faith (the fruit of the Holy Spirit), which comes in two forms:
a. Our faith/belief in the truth of God’s Word (faith in the doctrines of the Bible).
b. Faith in the trustworthiness/goodness of God Himself.
3. Supernatural faith (a spontaneous gift of the Holy Spirit).
