Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 70: July 2, 1908 Faith is the first principle of true religion. Without faith it is impossible for a man to please God. The apostle extols this great principle in his writings, and uses several illustrations to Show how individuals obtained Divine favor because of their faith. He speaks of Abraham, who believed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness. We can see the necessity of Paul laying so much stress on faith; he knew that if he did not, first of all, persuade those people to believe in Christ they would not obey the gospel of the Redeemer. But notice how differently he writes to those who believed in God, and who had accepted His Son as their Savior and Redeemer. In an epistle to Titus, he said: This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. (titus 3: This clearly shows that Paul was not opposed to good works. On the contrary, he applauds them and instructs Titus to teach the people constantly to perform them In this he was simply reiterating the words of the Messiah, who said to His disciples: Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
