8 ApCreed, 1 | for ~every Christian is faith, without which no one is
9 ApCreed, 1 | a faithful ~Christian.1 Faith brings about four good effects.
10 ApCreed, 1 | The first is that through ~faith the soul is united to God,
11 ApCreed, 1 | I will espouse thee in faith."2 When a man ~is baptized
12 ApCreed, 1 (1) | with ~a certain and firm faith. That which must first and

14 ApCreed, 1 | is the first Sacrament of faith. Hence, the ~Lord said: "
15 ApCreed, 1 | saved."4 Baptism ~without faith is of no value. Indeed,
16 ApCreed, 1 | before God unless he have faith. "Without faith it is impossible ~
17 ApCreed, 1 | he have faith. "Without faith it is impossible ~to please
18 ApCreed, 1 | Paul, "All that ~is not of faith is sin,"6 in this way: "
19 ApCreed, 1 | The second effect of faith is that eternal life is

26 ApCreed, 1 | coming ~knows Him through faith. And, therefore, it is said
27 ApCreed, 1 | The fourth effect of faith is that by it we overcome

31 ApCreed, 1 | fear of ~adversity. But faith overcomes this in that we
32 ApCreed, 1 | overcometh the world: our faith."14 The flesh, however,
33 ApCreed, 1 | this present life. But ~faith shows us that, if we cling
34 ApCreed, 1 | things taking the shield of faith."15 We see ~from this that
35 ApCreed, 1 | is very necessary to have faith.~ ~"The Evidence of Things
36 ApCreed, 1 | not believe the words of faith are not wise, ~but foolish
