Conclusion: We start the race by faith, there's only one way to continue it… by faith Faith in faith is nonsense, faith in man is anathema (Jer 17:9), faith in Christ is the only way to please God “I am a dying man in a dying world. All before me is dark. The world to come is an unknown harbor. But Christ is there, and that is enough. Surely if there is rest and peace in following Him by faith on earth, there will be far more rest and peace when we see Him face to face.” - J.C. Ryle –Taken from an Email circulated by Johnny Farese -
