Faith in What?
Summary
R.C. Sproul argues that saving faith requires specific intellectual content, not just sincere emotion. He emphasizes that believers must understand key gospel facts, such as Jesus’s death and resurrection, and recognize their own sinfulness and need for a Savior. This necessary information, or notitia, engages the mind and ensures faith is placed in the correct object rather than a false deity.
