Faith gives life vibrancy like nothing mankind is capable of manufacturing! In fact, faith is indispensable for contending with life’s challenges and grasping opportunities that come to those who venture out to seize what God makes available. God gives each receptive individual faith that can endure whatever life presents.
Where there is struggle and temptation, faith provides a defense as well as an escape from each situation. Where sin abounds God's grace abounds even more. He unleashes his mercy, protection, and provision, which give faith endurance. God’s wisdom is available to those who seek to live within its power.
Faith cannot be separated from God’s undeserved favor and compassion, his grace, which is an attribute of God by which we receive his kindness and mercy. Faith produces compassion that reflects the values God wants his followers to demonstrate to others. Compassion and kindness are the hallmarks of faith.
