Faith

"Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding."
-Martin Luther

"Faith is a principle which hath its root deeper than feelings. We believe, whether we see or not. We believe, whether we feel or not."
-Charles Spurgeon

"we walk by faith, not by sight"
-2 Corinthians 5:7

"If asked whereon I rest my claim
To full salvation’s joy,
If nothing more I need to name,
Or other words employ,
Besides our Savior’s blood and wounds,
To me all-satisfying grounds;
I answer then, “My claim is good!
’Tis based on Jesus’ blood.”

This is my hope’s foundation firm,
Which ever shall endure;
Yea, at the end of life’s brief term,
I’ll rest thereon secure,
And dreaded death shall lose its sting,
As of my Savior’s wounds I sing;
His precious blood shall be the key
That opens Heav’n for me."

-Faith in the Blood hymn by Er­ik L. Pon­top­pid­an, 1748
