A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – Below is a quote from a popular reformed pastor and blogger on the subject of salvation and faith.

“The seed of the gospel is broadcast. It falls on good soil and hard, it falls on the asphalt parking lot and on the well-tilled ground. The thing that makes it germinate is faith. Faith is the catalyst, the only catalyst for anything of spiritual value. When the declaration of forgiveness is made, we find out who it was meant for by seeing who believes it. We don’t test the declaration, sending it off to an objective lab somewhere in order to find out whether or not it is worthy of our belief so that we may then believe it. The gospel always brings its own credentials to those who are elect, to those who have genuine faith. Because of this, there is, therefore, always a perfect correspondence between those people for whom the statement is true, and those who believe it to be true.”
