Faith is Precious.

"We have been saved through faith in Jesus Christ" ( Eph 2; 8 )

Faith is easy, but difficult to get it, that while millions of world populations have assurance of salvation out of the billions. Faith means trust in Jesus Christ whom we believed, but most of the Christian can believed Christ without trusting in Him, so their life would not change even thou they claimed as Christian believers.

By the power of Holy Spirit, we can accept Jesus Christ as our Lord even during the testing times (1 Cor 12: 3) and faith is a fruit of the Holy Spirit. (Gal 5: 22). Without faith it is impossible to please God (Heb 11: 6). We are justified by faith (Romans 5:1) Sanctify by faith (Acts 26: 18) Live by faith (Romans 1:17) We walk by faith (2 Cor 5:7), Stand by faith (Romans 11:20) Wait by faith (Gal 5:5). The grace of our merciful God allows faith into our heart and involves the surrender of the will for living, transforming us by the Word of God. It is infinitely precious, because of its own infinite possibilities. With it, nothing is impossible in our life.
