Two Giants on Faith

Packer on faith: "Faith is . . . an empty hand stretched out to receive Christ, grasping him and holding him fast."

Luther on faith: "Faith taketh hold of Christ, hath him present, and holdeth him enclosed, as the ring doth the precious stone."

—J. I. Packer, Honouring the People of God: Collected Shorter Writings on Christian Leaders and Theologians, vol. 4, p. 8.
