Faith and Its Object

Errors in doctrine, and difficulties in practical religion, arise from separating gospel faith, ordinances and agencies from Christ. The rope could not help a drowning man, unless somebody held and drew upon the other end of it. His faith, when he grasps it, is not in the rope, but in the man who throws it to him. He does not expect to be saved by the rope, but by the man who draws him through the rope.--Anon
