FAITH IN GOD.
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him" (Heb. xi. 6). "He that heareth my word, and believed on Him that sent me, hath everlasting life" (John v. 24). "For therefore we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God" (I. Tim. iv. 10).
