Gerhard on Cantate's Gospel

- from Gerhard - "The fact that [unbelief] is the fount and source of other sins is to be concluded because faith is the root and beginning for every Christian virtue. From this it follows that contrariwise unbelief is the root of all sin. Where there is not faith in Christ with the heart, there can be no true prayer to God, no true love, no steadfast hope. (commenting on John 16:5-15)
