The Four Effects of Faith

(St. Thomas Aquinas - found here)

“Faith brings about four good effects. The first is that through faith the soul is united to God. (...) The second effect of faith is that eternal life is already begun in us; for eternal life is nothing else than knowing God. (...) The third good that comes from faith is that right direction which it gives to our present life. (...) The fourth effect of faith is that by it we overcome temptations.”
~St. Thomas Aquinas
