X.—22. <strong>Let</strong> us draw near, in fulness of faith.<br />
This translation, the fulness of faith, is not only<br />
more correct than that of " full assurance of faith,"<br />
but much more significant. Full assurance of<br />
faith refers only to the strength and confidence<br />
with which we believe. The truth we accept<br />
may be very limited and defective, and our<br />
assurance of it may be more an undoubting<br />
conviction of the mind than the living apprehension<br />
of the heart. In both respects the<br />
fulness of faith expresses what we need,—<br />
faith that includes objectively all that God<br />
offers it in its fulness, and subjectively all the<br />
powers of our heart and life in their fulness.<br />
<strong>Let</strong> us draw near, in fulness of faith.<br />
Here, if anywhere, there is indeed need of<br />
fulness of faith, that we may take in all the<br />
fulness of the provision God has made, and of<br />
the promises that are waiting for us to inherit.
