As a christian, many of us like to talk about having faith towards God or living by faith, i wonder how many of us truly understand what is the meaning of faith. And when i go through the bible today, i found a passage by the author trying to explain what is faith, so i decided
to cite it down here to remind myself to trust in God whenever i am feeling hopeless or wanted to give up.
'Faith endures trials. Trials come and go, but a strong faith will face them head-on and develop endurance.
Faith understand temptations. It will not allow us to consent to our lust and slide into sin.
Faith obeys the Word. It will not merely hear and not do.
Faith produces doers.
Faith harbors no prejudice.
Faith and favoritism cannot coxist.
Faith displays itself in works.
Faith is more than mere words, it is more than knowledge, it is demonstrate by obedience, and it overtly responds to the promises of God.
Faith control the tongue. This small but immensely powerful part of the body must be held in check. Faith can do it.
Faith acts wisely. It gives us the ability to choose wisdom that is heavenly and to shun wisdom that is earthly.
Faith produces separation from the world and submission to God. It provides us with the ability to resist the Devil and humbly draw near to God.
Finally, faith waits patiently for the coming of the Lord. Through trouble and trial it stifles complaining.'
