Faith is essential in the Christian life as it is the means through which we receive God's grace and grow spiritually.
Faith is foundational to the Christian experience, serving as the instrument through which we access God's grace and assurance of salvation (Romans 5:1-2). In Galatians 3, Paul questions whether the Galatians received the Spirit by works of the law or by faith, underscoring that it is through faith we begin our walk with God. Faith also sustains us through trials and tribulations, as noted in the sufferings the early Christians endured. Therefore, true faith not only receives salvation but also continues to trust in God's provision throughout life, affirming that we live 'by faith in the Son of God' (Galatians 2:20).
