LIVING FAITH
‘Thereupon, the woman left her water-jar, went to the village, and said to the people, Come.’ (John 4.28-29)
Reader, the desire of my heart and my prayer is that, if you do not yet know Jesus in your heart, your heart may be awoken by his Spirit that you may find him who died for you. You must also pray that your heart may be enlightened. Of all dark things it is darkness of the spirit that is worst – it is very dark. In the verses I have written here are some important indications of Living Faith. If your faith does not have these two marks it is right that you should be uneasy at heart about the nature of your faith, and it is right that you should ask yourself if your faith is like that spoken of in the Scriptures by which you find life, the faith which God desires so much. So consider carefully these marks of Living Faith.
