What does saving faith do?
it yields obedience to God’s commands.
it trembles at God’s threatenings.
it embraces the promises of God.
1689 Confession, 14. 2
Capacity & Command
Augustine points out in his work On the Spirit and the Letter, that “God does not measure the precepts of his law according to human powers, but where he has commanded what is right, he freely gives his elect the capacity to fulfill it.” (NPNF V. 83 – 114)
