1. It is the work of the Spirit of Christ: None doth or can raise and produce this faith, but the very Spirit of God, Col. 2. 12. Ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God who hath raised him from the dead: His mighty power is put forth to produce it, Ephes. 1. 19. 1 Cor. 2. 5. Your faith stands not in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 2 Cor. 4. 13. We having the same Spirit of Faith. In all these places the Apostle speaks of that faith which interests your persons in Christ: This faith he calls the Demonstration of the Spirit, and of power, 1 Cor. 2. 4. and the power of God, and the operation of God, and the Spirit of Faith; and in Isa. 53. 1. The revealing of the Arm of God.
Consider this Faith in all the parts and degrees of it, you shall find that every one of them comes from the Spirit of God.
