Hebrews 11:9,10

Heb. 11:9-10. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as (in) a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker (is) God.

In "Observations Concerning Faith":

§ 48. Faith is not all kind of assent to the word of God as true and divine. For so the Jews in Christ's time assented to the books of Moses, and therefore Christ tells them, that they trusted in Moses; John 5:45, "There is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust." Yet the very thing that Moses accuses them for, was not believing in him, i.e., believing so as to yield to his sayings and comply with him, or obey him, as the phrase in the New Testament is concerning Christ. And therefore Christ says in the next verse, "For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me." There may be a strong belief of divine things in the understanding, and yet no saving faith; as is manifest by 1 Corinthians 13:2, "Though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing." Not only trusting in Christ, as one that has undertaken to save us, and as believing that he is our Saviour, is faith; but applying to him, or seeking to him, that he would become our Saviour, with a sense of his reality and goodness as a Saviour, is faith; as is evident by Romans 15:12, "In him shall the Gentiles trust," compared with the place whence it is cited, Isaiah 11:10, "To it shall the Gentiles seek;" together with Psalms 9:10, "And they that know thy name, will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee." Which agrees well with faith's being called a looking to Christ, or coming to him for life, a flying for refuge to him or flying to him for safety. And this is the first act of saving faith. And prayer's being the expression of faith, confirms this.
