       Do we know what true faith in Christ involves? " The faith of Paul and Luther was a revolutionizing thing.  It upset the whole life of the individual and made him into another person  altogether.  It laid hold on the life and brought them into accord with the will of God.  

      Faith now means no more than passive moral acquiescence in the Word of God and the cross of Jesus.  To exercise it we have only to rest on one knee and nod our heads in agreement with the instructions of a personal worker intent upon saving our soul.  Such a faith as this does not perturb people.  It comforts them.  The face of their ego is washed and their self-confidence is rescued from discouragement. 
     
     ...Bible faith is the one who has put himself in a position where he cannot go back. "

 " A whole new generation of Christians has come up believing that it is possible to " accept " Christ without forsaking the world. Exhalation is as necessary to life as inhalation.  To accept Christ it is necessary that we reject whatever is contrary to Him.  Are we born again?    Gems From Tozer
