CHAP. XVII. Of Faith?
Q. 1. By what means do we become actual Members of this Church of God?
A. By a lively justifying Faith, 1whereby we are united unto Christ, the head thereof, Act. 2. 47. & 13. 48. Heb. 11. 6. & 12. 22, 23. & 4. 2. Rom. 5. 1, 2. Ephes. 2. 13, 14.
- 1Of this faith the holy Spirit is the efficient cause, the Word the instrumental, the Law indirectly, by discovering our misery; the Gospel immediately by holding forth a Saviour.
