I am not asked to take salvation on the basis of an unsupported faith.
For God has promised He will hear my call, and answer me Himself. Let me
but learn from my experience that this is true, and faith in Him must
surely come to me. This is the faith that will endure, and take me
farther and still farther on the road that leads to Him. For thus I will
be sure that He has not abandoned me, and loves me still, awaiting but
my call to give me all the help I need to come to Him.

“Father, I thank You that Your promises will never fail in my
experience, if I but test them out. Let me attempt therefore to try
them, and to judge them not. Your Word is one with You. You give the means
whereby conviction comes, and surety of Your abiding Love is gained at
last.”
