The Bible indicates that faith is a gift from God, and believers often struggle with unbelief as they navigate their faith journey.
The Scripture reveals that faith is a miraculous gift from God, essential for salvation, as seen in Ephesians 2:8-9, which proclaims that 'by grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.' Even those who possess faith will encounter moments of unbelief, much like the father in Mark 9:24, who cried out, 'Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.' This indicates that recognizing our own unbelief is part of the faith journey, compelling believers to seek greater faith and reliance on Christ.
