John 2:23, “Many believed in His name, when they saw the miracles which He did.” Belief in His Messiahship, to which the sight of His miracles gave rise, is all that is intended. Spiritual Faith is not thus originated (Matt. 16:17; Eph. 2:8), and is essentially different. The one was rational, and demanded of the Jews as candid and unbiased men. The other is heaven-born, and imparted in grace to the elect.
