Human faith is not the same as saving faith. Human faith is the act of trusting in something or someone. However, in order for faith to exist, there must be an object for that faith. For example, when we sit in a chair, we trust that the chair will support us and prevent us from falling. In our daily lives, we rely on faith in numerous things without even realizing it, as our trust in these things grows over time. Trust becomes second nature to us, and we don't consciously think about our individual choices to place our trust in these things. A person who exercises human faith ultimately places their trust solely in themselves. If their motives are self-centered, meaning they are sinfully self-conscious, then their trust is solely in themselves. If they trust in an idol, it is only in relation to their pride and the satisfaction they gain from fulfilling the requirements set by their self-created god. They create a god they can trust in and establish a system of works that allows them to feel proud of their accomplishments. Human faith is also employed to trust in imaginations. Men's thoughts are often entangled with false ideas, leading them to perceive as truth what is merely imagined. Men are inherently inclined to be sinfully self-conscious and place themselves at the center of their trust. Saving faith, on the other hand, is a gift that cannot be exercised by a spiritually dead person, someone whose faculties are corrupted in every aspect. This person lacks the knowledge of the object in which to place their trust. They are made spiritually alive and given this knowledge through the regeneration of the Holy Spirit. Through regeneration, the spiritual eyes of the soul and all its faculties are awakened, allowing the person to comprehend spiritual matters for the first time. When the object, who is Christ, becomes real through a revelation of Him in the Scriptures, a person can exercise saving faith. They can place their complete trust in Christ. Faith is not measured out in quantities because it is an agency. It can grow through use. A person can have the faith of a mustard seed and still have saving faith, because the essence of saving faith lies in the object of faith, not the one exercising it. That is why it is said that with the faith of a mustard seed, one can move mountains. A person who exercises saving faith focuses solely on the object of their faith, which is Christ. If we were to consciously consider the process of trust, we would ask questions and determine whether the object or person is trustworthy enough to depend on. This mental process of evaluating trust is an exercise of human faith. Every idea that enters our minds is either accepted as true, false, or incomprehensible. We choose to trust in its truth or trust that it is false, and we act accordingly.
