Faith and the Fruit of Good Works

Good works do not bring forth faith, but they spring from faith, or, in other words, are the fruit of faith. Faith lays hold of God's promises and makes their inherent power our own, so that the power we possess by faith is not natural power, but supernatural, even the power of the Spirit of God. We cooperate with God by submitting our will to His, to wait, to do, to suffer; and God then works in us "to will and to do of His own good pleasure."
