John Murray on Faith from “Redemption: Accomplished & Applied” (part 1)

Faith… is a whole-souled movement of self-commitment to Christ for salvation from sin and its consequences. (p. 107)

The faith of which we are now speaking is not the belief that we have been saved but trust in Christ in order that we may be saved. (p. 109)

It is to us in our lost condition that the warrant of faith is given and the warrant is not restricted or circumscribed in any way. In the warrant of faith the rich mercy of God is proffered to the lost and the promise of grace is certified by the veracity and faithfulness of God.  This is the ground upon which a lost sinner may commit himself to Christ in full confidence that he will be saved. (p. 110)
