What does it mean to strive in faith according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Striving in faith involves a diligent effort and perseverance to follow Christ and uphold His teachings amidst trials.

Striving in faith is characterized by a commitment to run the race of faith with endurance, as emphasized in Hebrews 12:1-2. This striving includes wrestling against spiritual forces and overcoming obstacles that threaten one's relationship with God (Ephesians 6:12). The act of striving reflects a believer's active engagement in cultivating their spirituality through prayer, study of Scripture, and fellowship, all of which require effort. Just as Paul encourages believers to press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14), they must strive to grow in likeness to Christ, demonstrating their faith through works.
