“Faith must precede all effort to understand. Reflection upon revealed truth naturally follows the advent of faith, but faith comes first to the hearing ear, not to the cogitating mind.”

“Any faith that must be supported by the evidence of the senses is not real faith.”

“Faith is the gaze of a soul upon a saving God.”

“The cross where Jesus died became also the cross where His apostle died. The loss, the rejection, the shame, belong both to Christ and to all who in very truth are His. the cross that saves them also slays them, and anything short of this is a pseudo-faith and not true faith at all.”

“Unbelief is actually perverted faith, for it puts its faith not in the living God, but in dying men.”

“We can afford to follow Him to failure. Faith dares to fail. The resurrection and the judgment will demonstrate before all worlds who won and who lost. We can wait.”

“True faith rests upon the character of God and asks no further proof than the moral perfections of the One who cannot lie.”
