Faith is trusting in God—believing that He loves us, and knows what is for our best good. Thus, instead of our own way, it leads us to choose His way. In place of our ignorance, it accepts His wisdom; in place of our weakness, His strength; in place of our sinfulness, His righteousness. Our lives, ourselves, are already His; faith acknowledges His ownership, and accepts its blessing. Truth, uprightness, purity, are pointed out as secrets of life’s success. It is faith that puts us in possession of these. Every good impulse or aspiration is the gift of God; faith receives from God the life that alone can produce true growth and efficiency. {FLB 90.3}

Tro er at stole på Gud - tro på at Han elsker os, og ved hvad er det bedste for os. I stedet for at vælge vor egen vej, vil vi således vælge Hans vej. I stedet for vor uvidenhed, accepterer troen Hans visdom; i stedet for vor svaghed, Hans styrke; i stedet for vor syndighed, Hans retfærdighed. Vore liv, os selv, tilhører allerede ham; troen anerkender Hans ejerskab, og accepterer dens velsignelser. Sandhed, oprigtighed, renhed, udpeges som hemmeligheder bag livets lykke. Det er tro som sætter os i besiddelse af disse. Alle gode impulser eller bestræbelser er Guds gave; tro får det liv fra Gud som alene kan producere sand vækst og kraft.
