Clinging FaithSometimes faith is little more than a simple clinging to Christ- a sense of dependence and a willingness to depend. When you are down at the seashore, you will see impets sticking to the rocks. You can walk softly up to the rock, strike a mollusk a quick blow with a stick, and off he comes. Yet try the next limpet in that way. You have given him warning; he heard the blow with which you strick his neighbour, and he clings with all his might. You will never get him off! Strike and strike again, but you might as well break the rock. The limpet does not know much, but he clings. He is not aquainted with the geological formation of the rock, but he clings. He can cling and has found something to cling to; this is all his tock of knowledge, and he uses it for his security and salvation. It is the limpet's life to cling to the rock, and it is the sinner's life to cling to Jesus. Thousands of God's peaople have no more faith than this. They know enough to cling to Jesus with all their heart and soul, and this suffices for present peace and eternal safety. Jesus Christ is to them a strong and mighty Saviour, a Rock immovable and immutable. They cling to Him for dear life, and this clinging saves them. Can you not cling? Do so at once.
-Charles Spurgeon, All of Grace
