Faith in God

WILLIS F. GROSS.

MAN'S greatest need is more faith in God. Faith in the supreme Being has brought whatever of enlightenment and progress the world has enjoyed, and if there is to be more enlightenment and more progress, there must be more faith which finds a resting-place higher than the things of earth.

All do not realize that this is their greatest need. They have faith in their own ability and they believe that through the exercise of their own intelligence they are able to accomplish satisfactory results and make substantial progress. But sooner or later there comes a time when man feels he can do no more. Then does he realize how great is his need faith in God.

Because of a limited sense of God's love and power, man but feebly comprehends the meaning of the Scripture, "Now is the day of salvation." He is too apt to think of Christianity as providing a way to a future heaven, but as having little power to beget a present heaven. If he expects Christianity to do little for him in this world, he has been slow to recognize what it has already done.
