Believing into Christ

WHEN the sinner is brought to a consciousness of his lost condition, and realizes that there is no hope for him, except in Christ Jesus, then is it that the soul believes "into" Christ. There is an entire self-surrender to be saved by the Saviour, just as He will, and a complete subordination of the will to the supreme authority and sovereign will of his Lord and Master. Here is the true involution of the soul, the deepest root and highest reach of faith, whence spring its true life and fruitfulness and glory. It is the finite and subdued will of the renewed man rolled inside the infinite will of the redeeming Lord, to be governed by and to beat in unison with His will. Its nestling prayer is, "Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?"—Anonymous.
