And This Through Faith

Modern notions of faith have twisted the word beyond all recognition. Faith is not a leap into the void. Faith corresponds to Word. Without a Word, faith is incomprehensible. The question then is, “What has God said of this child?” The answer is plain, God has said that His Word and Spirit would not depart from this one (Isaiah 59:21). God has said, “This one is a seed of the blessed of the Lord” (Isaiah 61:9). Baptism is a sign that this child is a recipient of God’s saving, covenant love. That is God’s Word and it is received by faith.
