\npersuasion.\u201d \u201cNow faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
\nevidence of things not seen\u201d (Hebrews 11:1<\/a>), being sure of what we hope
\nfor, and certain of what we do not see. This faith is that conviction of
\nthe truths of God\u2019s word and His gospel wrought in the heart by God, and
\nwhich leads one to rely upon the promises of God in Christ. It has three
\nvital aspects: knowledge of the truth; belief of the truth; and trust in
\nthe truth. This faith is \u201cthe gift of God\u201d (Ephesians 2:8<\/a>;\u00a0Acts 16:14<\/a>;
\n18:27;\u00a0Philippians 2:19<\/a>), given in regeneration and exercised forever
\nmore. He who possesses faith may say, \u201cI know whom I have believed and
\nam persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until
\nthat Day\u201d (2 Timothy 2:12<\/a>). \u2013 Daniel Parks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
