- BEZA, THEODORE 1519-1605
"Faith & Justification"
"But, in this treatise, we shall especially consider the effects which He [the Holy Spirit] produces
in the children of God; how, along with faith, He brings to them the graces of God to make them
sensible of the efficacy and power of them (Rom 8:12-17; 1 Cor. 2:11,12; 1 John 4:13); in brief,
how He brings them more and more to the end and goal to. which they have been predestinated
before the foundation of the world (Eph. 1:3-4)."
- BOSTON, THOMAS 1676-1732
"The Nature Of That Faith And Obedience Which The Holy Scriptures
Teach"
"Divine faith is a believing of what God has revealed, because God has said it, or revealed it.
People may believe scripture truths, but not with a divine faith, unless they believe it on that very
ground, the authority of God speaking in his word...As to obedience, it is that duty which God
requiresof man. It is that duty and obedience which man owes to God, to his will and laws, in
respect of God's universal supremacy and sovereign authority over man; and which lie should
render to film out of love and gratitude"
- CALVIN, JOHN 1509-1564
"Of Justification By Faith"
"A man is said to be justified in the sight of God when in the judgment of God he is deemed
righteous, and is accepted on account of his righteousness; for as iniquity is abominable to God,
so neither can the sinner find grace in his sight, so far as he is and so long as he is regarded as a
sinner."
- EDWARDS, JONATHAN 1703-1758
"Justification By Faith Alone"
"We are justified only by faith in Christ, and not by any manner of goodness of our own."
- GRACE TO YOU
"What Is The Nature Of True Saving Faith?"
"That is not to say that faith is the basis of our salvation; rather, it is the channel by which God
grants salvation."
- GRACE TO YOU
What Kind Of Things Do And Do
Not Prove The Genuineness Of Saving Faith?"
As important as it was in Paul's day, how much more important it is for people in our churches
today to put their faith to the test and to make sure they have not been deceived.
- LUTHER, MARTIN 1483-1546
"On Faith, And Coming To Christ, And The Bread Of Heaven"
This Gospel text teaches exclusively of the Christian faith, and awakens that faith in us; just as
John, throughout his whole Gospel, simply instructs us how to trust in Christ the Lord. This faith
alone, when based upon the sure promises of God, must save us; as our text clearly explains.
- MacARTHUR, JOHN F. 1939
"Dead Faith - Living Faith"
Sermon 1 - "Dead Faith" - Romans
7:14-17
Sermon 2 - "Living Faith" - Romans
7:18-25
"To sort of paraphrase James, faith plus nothing equals nothing. James, for example, describes
the kind of faith that equals nothing, he calls it "dead faith" in verse 17, verse 20 and
again at the end of the chapter in verse 26. Dead faith. Now inevitably, people with dead faith
always substitute words for deeds. They want you to believe that they are what they say when you
must understand that we are what we do. Trust not in words, trust only in movement. True faith
will always be seen in works. Dead faith will not be seen at all."

MacARTHUR, JOHN F.
1939
"The Nature Of Saving Faith"
"The language of the modern message sounds vaguely similar to "Just as I am," but the difference
in meaning is quite profound. Sinners today, you see, are hearing not only that Christ will receive
them just as they are, but also that He will let them stay that way. Many erroneously believe that
they can come to Christ, receive absolution from their sins or forgiveness, be granted the gift of
immortality, or heaven, and then walk away to continue living life anyway they please, even
choosing...as one well-known Bible teacher, author and theologian says, quote: "To leave God
out and live according to the old nature." Beloved, that is the gospel we hear today. Come just
as you are and go away just as you are. Jesus will take you just the way you are. In fact, He will
let you stay that way."

"Gospel Grounds And Evidences Of
The Faith Of God's Elect"
"Now, the root whereon all real comforts do grow, whence they spring and arise, is true and
saving faith, the faith of God's elect. What are the principal acts and operations of faith, whereby
it will evidence its truth and sincerity in the midst of all temptations and storms that may befall
believers in this world?"
- TOPLADY, AUGUSTUS 1740-1778
"Thoughts On The Assurance Of Faith"
"It has long been a settled point with me, that the Scriptures make a wide distinction between
faith, the assurance of faith, and the full assurance of faith."
