Believing with the Heart
Romans 10:10
For with the heart man believes to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.


The seat of faith, it deserves to be observed, is not in the brain, but the heart; not that I wish to enter into any dispute concerning the part of the body which is the seat of faith, but since the word "heart" generally means a serious, sincere, ardent affection, I am desirous to show the confidence of faith to be a firm, efficacious, and operative principle in all the emotions and feelings of the soul, not a mere naked notion of the head.

(J. Calvin.)
