Spiritual life and faith are two distinct things, yet they are so vitally joined together that neither exists alone. Where there is spiritual life, there is faith in Christ; and where there is faith in Christ, there is spiritual life. "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God," I John 5:1. In a newborn infant, if God gives physical life, it breathes; if life is absent, it does not. Breathing is evidence that life is present; but also, life cannot exist without breathing. It is even so spiritually. God gives life; the evidence is faith in Christ. NO FAITH IN CHRIST, NO LIFE! John 3:36.
