Faith is a Gift of God !
We know Faith is a Spiritual Grace from a Supernatural Source because we read of it this comment 1 Pet 1:7
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
When genuine Faith is tested by the varius trials, it cannot perish, because its born out of that Incorruptible Seed. 1 Pet 1:23
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
The word incorruptible [aphthartos] means:
uncorrupted, not liable to corruption or decay, imperishable
Now certainly , this kind of Faith is not t o be found in the nature and flesh of unregenerate men !
The Lord Jesus Christ is the Author and Finisher of this type of Faith, whom Himself endured many trials with it ! Heb 12:2-3
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Thats the type Faith given the believer who was begotten out of the Incorruptible Seed, the Word of God, which is Christ Jn 1:1, who is the Author of this type Faith !
Those who falsely teach that this Faith is in the old man of the flesh by nature, are not of the Truth, and they are attempting to steal the Praise, Honour and Glory of it for themselves ! 5
