What does the Bible say about like precious faith?

Answered in 2 sources

Like precious faith refers to the faith obtained through the righteousness of Jesus Christ, emphasizing that true faith is not based on our own works.

In 2 Peter 1:1, the Apostle Peter writes to those who have obtained like precious faith through the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ. This 'like precious faith' signifies that true faith is a gift from God and is not rooted in our own efforts or righteousness. The scripture teaches that every believer, regardless of their background, shares this same kind of faith, which acknowledges that our justification is found only in Christ alone. The concept underscores the importance of recognizing our inability to achieve righteousness on our own, as stated in Romans 3:11: 'There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.' Therefore, like precious faith is a vital part of our relationship with God, highlighting our dependence on Christ's work instead of our personal merit.
