It is grace that makes the believer what he is, nor will the law make him better. If the letter of the law be the only rule that the believer is to walk and live by, then he walks by sight and not by faith; he looks at the things that are seen and not the things which are not seen. It is by faith that Moses saw Him who is invisible; and by faith we must look at the things which are not seen, which are eternal. Paul said, "He that cometh to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him;" then faith must be the rule of his coming. "We have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand;" then faith is the rule of our approach to God. "The just shall live by his faith;" then faith is the just man's rule of life! Paul said, "Thou standest by faith;" then faith is the rule of the believer's standing. "Whatsoever ye shall ask believing, ye shall receive;" then faith is the rule of that part of worship. "By faith Enoch had this testimony, that he pleased God;" "But without faith it is impossible to please Him;" then faith is the rule that God approves of and is pleased with. "Whatsoever is not of faith is sin;" then faith is the perfect rule of holiness. "All that believe are justified from all things from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses;" then faith is our rule of righteousness. It is by faith that we over-come the world. To lay hold of eternal life is to fight the good fight of faith. Paul said, "I have fought a good, fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith;" then faith was the rule of his warfare and the rule of his race. By faith Christ dwells in our hearts, and by faith we dwell in Him. Faith is the rule of life according to the revealed will of God in Christ. "This is the will of Him that sent me, that everyone which seeth the Son and believeth on Him may have everlasting life" (Jn.6:40).
