36. The universal of the Christian faith on man's part is that he should believe on the Lord. For by believing on Him conjunction with Him is effected and this is the means of salvation. To believe on Him is to have trust that He will save: and because no one can have such trust but he who lives a good life, therefore, this also is meant by believing on Him.
