Faith is Always Active

You can see here from these verses that faith is an active grace. It submits to the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ for salvation. It does not seek to establish its own righteousness. It looks upon Christ as the end of the law for righteousness, and believes in His finished work. It believes in the word of the gospel concerning Christ and confesses Him to be the only Savior and the only way to know God and have eternal life. By faith the believer confesses Christ to be the only Savior and Lord and in their heart believes unto righteousness and confesses Christ’s blood and righteousness to be their only hope of eternal life. This faith is a living faith which then becomes active in both receiving His word and all the benefits that He died to purchase for them.
