“If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” — Galatians 5:25

The two most important things in our holy religion are the life of faith and the walk of faith. He who shall rightly understand these is not far from being a master in experimental theology, for they are vital points to a Christian. You will never find true faith unattended by true godliness; on the other hand, you will never discover a truly holy life which has not for its root a living faith upon the righteousness of Christ. Woe unto those who seek after the one without the other! There are some who cultivate faith and forget holiness; these may be very high in orthodoxy, but they shall be…

very deep in condemnation, for they hold the truth in
unrighteousness; and there are others who have strained after holiness of
life, but have denied the faith, like the Pharisees of old, of whom the
Master said, they were “whitewashed sepulchres.” We must have faith,
for this is the foundation; we must have holiness of life, for this is the
superstructure. Of what service is the mere foundation of a building to a
man in the day of tempest? Can he hide himself therein? He wants a house
to cover him, as well as a foundation for that house. Even so we need the
superstructure of spiritual life if we would have comfort in the day of
doubt. But seek not a holy life without faith, for that would be to erect a
house which can afford no permanent shelter, because it has no foundation
on a rock. Let faith and life be put together, and, like the two abutments of
an arch, they will make our piety enduring. Like light and heat streaming
from the same sun, they are alike full of blessing. Like the two pillars of
the temple, they are for glory and for beauty. They are two streams from
the fountain of grace; two lamps lit with holy fire; two olive trees watered
by heavenly care. O Lord, give us this day life within, and it will reveal
itself without to Thy glory.
