What does the Bible say about faith and seeking favor from God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that faith is believing God's Word, while seeking favors often stems from human needs or troubles.

In John 4, a nobleman sought Jesus not out of faith, but to heal his dying son, reflecting a common tendency to seek God's help in times of trouble. Jesus responded by indicating that 'except you see signs and wonders, you will not believe' (John 4:48). This distinction highlights that true faith is not contingent upon signs but rests on believing the Word of God itself. The man believed Christ's word when told his son would live, which demonstrates that genuine faith grows when one adheres to and believes in God's promises, regardless of circumstances.
