More from John Gresham Machen

I'm so thankful for the active obedience of Christ. No hope without it.

Faith is indeed intellectual; it involves an apprehension of certain things as facts; and vain is the modern effort to divorce faith from knowledge. But although faith is intellectual, it is not only intellectual. You cannot have faith without having knowledge; but you will not have faith if you have only knowledge.

I know your exhortations will not help me. But if anything has been done to save me, will you not tell me the facts?
