2. By this Faith, a Christian beleeveth to be true, whatsoever is revealed in the Word, for the authority of God himself speaking therein;a and, acteth differently upon that which each particular passage thereof containeth; yeelding obedience to the Commands,b trembling at the threatnings,c and imbracing the Promises of God for this life, and that which is to come.d But the principall Acts of saving faith, are, Accepting, Receiving, and Resting upon Christ alone for Justification, Sanctification, and Eternall life, by vertue of the Covenant of Grace.e
