Scripture Promises and Faith

By John Berridge

Scripture promises are real bank notes of heaven, and the true riches of believers, who do not live on stock-in-hand, but traffic with this paper currency. Where divine faith is found, it takes the note to Christ's bank, and receives the cash. But human faith can not traffic with this paper; it reads the notes, and owns them good, but dares not take them to the skies for payment. No faith can truly act on God but that which comes from God.—John Berridge.
