“Faith is not in itself a meritorious act; the merit is in the One to
Whom it is directed. Faith is a redirecting of our sight, a getting out
of the focus of our own vision and getting God into focus. Sin has
twisted our vision inward and made it self-regarding. Unbelief has put
self where God should be, and is perilously close to the sin of Lucifer
who said “I will set my throne above the throne of God.” Faith looks out
instead of in, and the whole life falls into line.”
