Faith and Duty
Faith is not feeling. Faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen. There is a form of religion which is
nothing more than selfishness. It takes pleasure in worldly enjoyment.
It is satisfied with contemplating the religion of Christ, and knows
nothing of its saving power. Those who possess this religion regard
sin lightly because they do not know Jesus. While in this condition,
they estimate duty very lightly. But a faithful performance of duty
goes hand in hand with a right estimate of the character of God.—
