[Manna - March 15]
The just shall live by faith. Hebrews 10:38
IT is not enough that, by faith, we receive the first
impulse of life, but, having passed from death unto
life, by the same means, we must continue to receive
and appropriate spiritual nourishment, that we may
grow thereby: we must walk by faith, following the
leading of the Holy Spirit through the Word of truth.
The life of faith is an individual matter, as well of
the heart as of the head.
It is far more than an acceptance
of doctrines which we consider Scriptural
and therefore true; it is the assimilation of that which
we have proved to be the Truth, so that its principles
become our principles, and its promises our inspiration. Z.'95-92,93 R1798:3; 1799:4
