Faith is central to the Christian life as it establishes a relationship with God and is essential for salvation.
Faith plays a foundational role in the life of a believer, initiating and sustaining their relationship with God. According to Scripture, salvation is received through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9), which aligns with God's grace. This faith is not merely intellectual assent but a deep trust and reliance on Christ for forgiveness and salvation. Additionally, as believers grow in their faith, they are empowered by the Holy Spirit to live out the commands of Scripture, fight against sin, and pursue holiness. This continual act of faith embodies a believer's life and reveals the sustaining grace of God at work within them, allowing their character to reflect Christ.
