True faith acknowledges God's sovereignty and power, attributing our salvation entirely to Him.
In Romans 4:20, it states that Abraham ‘was strong in faith, giving glory to God.’ This signifies that genuine faith involves recognizing that all accomplishments, spiritual and otherwise, stem from God’s power rather than our own abilities. For believers, salvation is entirely a work of God, and faith acknowledges that. The glory belongs to God because He is the one who initiates, sustains, and perfects faith in His people. As believers give glory to God through their faith, they reflect the reality that salvation is a divine miracle, rooted in God's promises, and thus they acknowledge His sovereignty and grace over their lives.
