What does the Bible say about precious faith?

Answered in 18 sources

The Bible teaches that precious faith is obtained through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ, as stated in 2 Peter 1:1.

The concept of precious faith is rooted in 2 Peter 1:1, which declares that Simon Peter addresses those who have obtained 'like precious faith' through the righteousness of God. It emphasizes that this faith is not a result of human effort or merit but is a divine gift linked directly to the righteousness of Christ. It is essential to understand that our faith does not generate God's righteousness; rather, it is through God's righteousness that we come to have faith in Him. This indicates a fundamental truth within sovereign grace theology that faith is a reaction to the revelation of Christ's righteousness rather than a contributor to it.
