Aspects of Faith April Erwin

Faith is one of the most basic acts of being a follower of Jesus Christ. It's faith that Jesus is the Son of God who sacrificed himself on a cross and defeated death and sin to rise again so that we could be free, that brings us to commit our lives to Him. I would even say it 's the first step, because how can you come unto him and repent, if you don't already have faith to believe He's real? Faith doesn't stop there. Once we make that covenant, then our faith has to continue to grow and become active. It's that type of faith that I think many of us struggle with the most. I certainly do and I know I'm not alone. It's not something we often talk about as a group of believers, but maybe we should. Why, if we have faith in who Jesus is, do we also struggle to have faith in what Jesus will do? Sure, He died for my sins, but can or will He really heal me? Or help me overcome my financial/personal/emotional struggles? Personal faith in the divine is what I wanted to understand deeper. To go beyond the general or even abstract definition and understand the basic steps that build personal faith. I invite you to join me on my journey to learn the many aspects of faith.
