The Faith of Jesus.

By James White

A BROTHER in Vermont inquires as follows: “Can the definition that Paul gives to the word faith in Heb. xi, 1, be given to “the faith of Jesus,” in Rev. xiv, 12, and be correct.”
We are confident that the word faith in these two passages does not have the same signification. In Rev. xiv, 12, we read, “Here are they that keep the Commandments of God and the Faith of Jesus.” Both Commandments and Faith are to be kept, observed, obeyed. But Paul in Heb. xi, 1, says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” If faith, in both texts, means the same, then we may understand Rev. xiv, 12, as follows: Here are they that keep the Commandments of God, and the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen.
