The most vital part of the Christian life, as much as our part is concerned, is our faith. Jesus has done all the work in restoring to a right relationship with God so we can be His children, but for our part we must have faith to appropriate this marvelous gift! We are saved by faith alone through the finished work of Christ alone. Not only that, but the way we grow and obtain the power of God to live a Christ honoring life is to live by faith. But, faith is not easy or automatic. What is it that can keeps the lost from believing, and keeps Christ's followers from living all out by faith?
