Insights into faith

Faith, what is it?

I was reading back into some of Charles H. Spurgeon's teachings "All of Grace" in e-sword, of which there is a very nice rendition here: http://www.spurgeon.org/all_of_g.htm, and I came accross this in Chapter 8 "Faith, what is it?" about half way through:

Faith is not a blind thing; for faith begins with knowledge. It is not a speculative thing; for faith believes facts of which it is sure. It is not an unpractical, dreamy thing; for faith trusts, and stakes its destiny upon the truth of revelation. That is one way of describing what faith is.
