trust turns conviction into faith

"It is trust which turns conviction into faith. It is one thing to declare that a rope is strong; it is another thing to rest your weight upon it. Conviction is essential but it is not the whole story. It is one thing to believe the thing to act upon it. Trust is faith in action. Faith sometimes is a theological expression, but in its development it becomes highly personal. Faith is the conviction that God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. The declaration without the diligence is on the way to being only half true, perhaps even half false on the lips of the one who confesses but will not trust."
