Faith doth all in us, till it hath brought us to salvation. It carries along this great venture of a man’s soul safe to heaven, and leaves it not till it hath put it into Christ’s hands in heaven, till itself ends in sight. It begins and it ends with us, and stands by us, when else all would fail.
—Thomas Goodwin (1600–80), The Works of Thomas Goodwin (Edinburgh: James Nichol, 1864), 8. 462. (HT: John Fonville)
