Gospel Approval, The First Evidence of the Faith of God's Elect

Faith sees infinite goodness, love, and grace in this way, such as becomes God, such as can reside in none but him; therefore, it rests and rejoices in it, 1Pet 1:8.22 Faith acts itself continually in adherence to, and approval of, this way of salvation, as expressing these perfections of the divine nature. Where unbelief prevails, the mind has no view of the glory that is in this way of salvation, in it being so becoming of God and all his holy properties, as the apostle declares, 2Cor 4:4.
