Faith comes in to encourage us, when we are hesitating to make an affirmation; and this is why we can say that faith is a gift—there is a bestowal of grace which confirms our wills, and makes it possible for us to assert, and to go on asserting, truths of religion over which, if we were left to our indolent and cowardly selves, we might be tempted to suspend judgement. That is why faith can be exercised in equal measure and is needed in equal measure, by a trained theologian and by a simple peasant. |
