““Reversing the stand he took in 1922, he now declares that faith is not a state of consciousness.71 Since it is something God creates in the human being, faith is neither brought about nor illustrated in the natural life of the individual. The faithful person is never the natural person, but rather always “the person killed and brought back to life by God.”72 The identity of the person who by faith is made new and otherworldly is utterly different from that of the old, this-worldly person.””
