See what big letters I am using!

But when once Christ had called him,

Peter had no alternative: he must

leave the ship and come to Him.

In the end, the first step of

obedience proves to be an act of

faith in the Word of Christ.


But we should completely

misunderstand the nature of grace if

we were to suppose that there was

no need to take the first-step,

because faith was already there.


Against that, we must boldly assert

that the step of obedience must be

taken before faith can be possible. 

Unless he obeys, a man cannot

believe.
