Saving faith is a moral act, as it proceeds from a renewed will, and a renewed will is necessary to believing assent to the truth of God (1Cr 2:14; 2Cr 4:4). Faith, therefore, has its seat in the moral part of our nature fully as much as in the intellectual. The mind must first be enlightened by divine teaching (Jhn 6:44; Act 13:48; 2Cr 4:6; Eph 1:17,18) before it can discern the things of the Spirit.
