The threads are pulled together. Since miracles come by faith, and there are miracles, therefore there is faith. This is the plan of God, that we have faith and that our faith have reasonable objects upon which it may rest.
[if these things have ceased wo be unto the children of men, for it is because of unbelief, and all is vain]: If there are those who think that miracles have ceased, or for whom they really have ceased, then this is an indication of a lack of faith, as faith precedes the miracles. If miracles have ceased, then it is a sorry state for mankind, for it must mean that there is no faith, for miracles will follow faith. If we have no faith, then we are lost, for there is no way to lay hold of the “good things” without faith.
