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. In a newborn infant, if God gives physical life, it breathes; if life is absent, it does not. Breathing is an 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! The question we should ask ourselves is not do we have life? But, do we believe on Christ?

"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." JOHN 3:36
