In the beginning was Jesus – the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God (John 1:1). Faith comes from hearing and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). In other words, faith comes from the word of God and this means that the source of our faith is Jesus Christ – the Word of God.
But since faith OPERATES by works (actions), we are to OVERTLY respond to the will of God and OBEY the word of God. The Bible tells us that faith without works (actions) is dead. Faith and action are akin to the two sides of the same coin, in the Hand of God. It is not mere preaching (VERBAL Faith) but practicing (VISIBLE Faith) that God seeks from all who believe in Him. Jesus is not only the PROVISION OF our faith, but He is also the PURPOSE OF our faith.
The Bible leaves the following question unanswered,”When the Son of man (Jesus) comes [again], will He find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8). Think about it and act on it by faith.
