3. The third way of Trial is by living a life of Faith on Jesus Christ: they that have received Christ by Faith, do not satisfy themselves that they have believed, but do from time to time live a life of dependence on Christ: this life Paul lived, Gal. 2.20. I live by Faith in the Son of God: that is the duty of them that have believed, 1 Joh. 5.13. I have written to you that have believed on the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe on the Son of God. And this is the spirit of those that have believed: they live a life of dependence upon Christ for every thing, even for outward things, for life, health, peace, liberty, provision, protection, for private and public blessings, but in special for Sanctification, Acceptance and eternal Salvation.
