Hebrews 10:23

Hebrews 10:23. Let us hold fast the profession of (our) faith without wavering; for he (is) faithful that promised;

This text contributes to Edwards' understanding of justifying faith as "nothing else, but true virtue" in his "Concerning Faith":

Saving faith is called in Heb. 3:6,. "The confidence and the rejoicing of the hope." Well expressing the act of the whole soul that is implied in saving faith, the judgment, the will and affections.. So in Heb. 10:23, "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith." In the original it is, hope.

Justifying faith is nothing else, but true virtue in its proper and genuine breathings adapted to the case, to the revelation made, the state we are in, the benefit to be received are the way and means of it, and our relation to these things.

Heb. 10:24-25
