Faith—How Much Required for Salvation?

It is not the quantity of thy faith that shall save thee. A drop of water is as true water as the whole ocean; so a little faith is as true faith as the greatest. A child eight days old is as really a man as one of sixty years; a spark of fire is as true fire as a great flame; a sickly man is as truly living as a well man. So it is not the measure of faith that saves thee—it is the blood that it grips that saves thee; as the weak hand of a child, that leads the spoon to the mouth, will feed as well as the strongest arm of a man; for it is not the hand that feeds you, but the meat. So, if you can grip Christ ever so weakly, He will not let you perish.

But he pressed steadily forward in his work and said nothing. “Aren’t you going to answer your critics?” a subordinate inquired. “In time,” Goethals replied. “How?” The great engineer smiled. “With the canal,” he said.
