Faith is a vital tenet of Christianity that anyone who’s been serving God is well aware of. Our faith in God is nothing more than us reaching back to God on the ground of the finished work of Christ Jesus on the cross of Calvary.

In all honesty, it’s not easy at all to exercise the kind of faith that God requires of us, especially when we’re going through tough time. Nonetheless, faith is something that’s both life-changing and powerful in many ways.

When faith is applied correctly, it has the power to change people’s lives in an astonishing fashion. In addition to applying faith correctly; the peace, joy, and strength that we have as believer is associated with the type of we’re exercising in God.

Faith And Grace

It’s very important to come to the realization that faith along with grace walks hand in hand.

The main reason lies with the fact that God in all His love for humanity has already made everything essential readily available by grace through His Son Christ Jesus.

We don’t really need anything other than what was accomplished for us by our Lord and Savior.

The grace of God is the very channel through which everything that God has promised us in His word can be inherited.

His grace is sufficient (2 Corinthians 12:9); in other words, His grace covers every aspect of our lives. But, we have a critical responsibility that we must assume in response to that grace, so that the very things promised to us can be brought forth into our lives.

When it comes down to how God operates, He’s always the One who initiates the first move by doing what He thinks is the best thing to do in order to deal with an issue.

But after that, He’s patiently waiting for us to make the next move with a sense of urgency by acknowledging the importance of what He’s done for us and what He wants to do within us in relation to what was done.

It’s an area where God has placed a strict restriction upon Himself in the sense that He’ll never do anything that falls within our own responsibility. In that case, we have no choice but to respond to God though our faith accordingly.

What Can We Learn About Faith?

According to the Word of God faith is defined as the confidence in what we hope for along with assurance about what we do not see (Hebrews 11:1).

In that context, it’s absolutely to come to the conclusion that if something can be seen, then it can no longer be faith as a result. With respect to whom we should place our faith, God is the object of our faith.

The foundation of faith is rested upon who He is. Furthermore, there is an inseparable relationship between the Word of God and faith.

The Word is what teaches us how to have faith in God. In fact, faith has to be mixed with the Word of God in order for results to be produced.

As scripture says in (Romans 10:7) faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. God is infallible, so is His Word.

Thereby, the type of faith that we have in God can never fail because the person that our faith is placed into can never fail.

Faith is what holds our Christian life. Even though, obedience is very important when it comes to serve God, but faith is the starting point of obedience.

In other words, our faith in God pushes us to obey Him. Most importantly, faith is what moved us to accept Christ as our Lord and Savior. As the Bible says, we’re saved by grace through faith according to (Ephesians 2:8).

It’s quite clear to notice that our faith from salvation to glorification is centered upon having faith in God.

Lastly, because faith in God through Christ is what leads to eternal life; consequently, people’s eternity will be determined by their willing to place their faith in Christ.

As believers, our faith is what connects with a God that we cannot even see and touch. It’s the very element that makes us become righteous and acceptable in God’s sight.

It’s what transforms us into people that can trust when it comes to fulfilling His will. As a final point, without faith it’s impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6).
