Saving Faith is to Believe in Him

Selection from Conjugial Love ~ Emanuel Swedenborg

(pt. 3)
[2] Saving faith is to believe in Him.

     • This is the will of the Father, that all who believe in the Son shall have everlasting life (John vi. 40).
     • God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John iii. 16).
     • He that believeth in the Son hath everlasting life; but he that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the anger of God abideth on him (John iii. 36).
