- 1What that Faith is.
106. The faith by which we are justified, as is aforesaid, is best understood 1by the Baptismal Covenant, and is essentially a Believing Fiducial consent to our Covenant relation to God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, as our Reconciled Creator and Father, our Saviour and our Sanctifier, connoting the forsaking of all inconsistents. For it must needs be the same faith by which we have right to the benefits of that Covenant, and by which we are justified; because we have our remission and justification by the Instrumental donation of the Covenant, it being one of the benefits given by it: But Practical Faith, or Believing-consent is our condition of receiving our Covenant right to all the benefits in general; therefore to Justification in particular.
