The testing of your faith in Christ, measures your strength. faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen. The measurement of your faith through testing produces perseverance. Just as money is used for transactions here on earth, our faith is the currency to a spiritual trade. If you have no faith, we cannot collect what truly belongs and has been given to us by Christ.
Faith simply means absolute trust and belief in God. As a Christian, you cannot say you believe in God, yet your actions prove otherwise. Your confession of faith has to synch with your actions by obeying the instruction of your father in the way you live. Faith is belief and action. Faith is the hope for things that are true but not seen, it is a necessity spiritually, just like the basic element; food, shelter and clothing is mandatory, faith is mandatory to the spirit. The fourth gospel has been called the gospel of total belief. Our faith should always be anchored on the word of God unto salvation. Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Take up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
For by the evident of grace have we been saved and it is not ourselves but it’s the gift of God
There are times when dismay and temptation arises and without obstruction this is when we ought to trust and anchor our faith totally in God. Let our testimony at the end of the race to the throne of our father be successful. Let's develop our believe and faith in God by being in communion with him always
God bless you brother for giving more insight. There is a lot to taught and learnt on the rudiments of a firm and strong faith in Christ
