AWESOME quote and excerpt!! Thanks for the post & reference.....
How does this square with "Pick up your cross and follow me?" Perhaps sometimes faith is also toil--or at least it is seen in it.

If you read it in context you will see that is dealing with different things.
This quote from that article may help-
"Faith does not come to Calvary to do anything. It comes to see the glorious spectacle of all things done, and to accept this completion without a misgiving as to its efficacy."
The context is the cross of Christ.
"Pick up your cross and follow me" is after. You may be confusing justification and sanctification. Now you can't have one without the other, but you can't mix them up either. God's like that. The nature of Christ and the Trinity have aspects you can't completely mix or completely separate.
