What is the relationship between knowledge and faith?
Answered in 1 source
True faith cannot exist without knowledge, as it must be grounded in the truths of Scripture.
The relationship between knowledge and faith is inseparable in the context of salvation. True faith stems from knowledge, specifically knowledge of the truths revealed in Scripture. As the sermon emphasizes, one cannot have authentic faith without understanding the object of that faith—namely, the Lord Jesus Christ and His redemptive work. Knowledge illuminates the truths of the Gospel, and faith, as a gift from God, actively trusts in these truths. When God gives a person a new heart, He simultaneously imparts knowledge of Christ and instills the faith necessary to believe, reflecting that the gospel is the medium through which faith operates.
