What does the Bible say about faith being precious?
Answered in 3 sources
The Bible describes faith as precious because it is the means by which we please God and is a gift from Him.
Faith is called precious in Scripture because, according to Hebrews 11:6, without faith it is impossible to please God. It is through faith that believers are justified and have eternal life, as expressed in John 3:36. Additionally, faith is a gift from God, as stated in Ephesians 2:8-9, where it says that we are saved by grace through faith, not of ourselves, indicating that we cannot merit faith on our own but receive it as a divine gift from Jesus Christ.
