LOOKING UNTO JESUS
and not at our creeds, no matter how evangelical they may be. The faith which saves, which sanctifies, and which comforts, is not giving assent to the doctrine of salvation; it is being united to the person of the Savior. 'It is not enough,' said Adolphe Monod, 'to know about Jesus Christ, it is necessary to have Jesus Christ.' To this one may add that no one truly knows Him, if he does not first possess Him. According to the profound saying of the beloved disciple, it is in the Life there is Light, and it is in Jesus there is Life."

Hebrews 12:2
