The Lord loves to see us operate in faith as He does. The purer the faith the closer to the Lord we come Heb 11:6.
Our Faith is what we believe about the Lord`s Word and His nature.
Jesus, being God in the flesh, came to reveal the Truth about Himself, His nature, His love and His intent for mankind.
The Trial of our faith is the attack of the enemy to get us to doubt our Lord Jesus` identity, His Word and His goodness Gen 3:4,5.
When we stand fast in His identity, His Word and His goodness, our faith enables us to appropriate all the blessings of Grace Joh 15:7. In that sense we have something more precious than gold.
Jesus said that we are His disciples indeed if we abide in Him (His HolySpirit) and do His Word Joh 8:31.
Unfortunately, Many Christians doubt the WordOfTheLord or impune the Lord`s character by not believing the Truth in their heart.
They fail in the trial and so are unable to appropriate the blessings of GraceThroughFaith.
When Jesus returns He will be looking for faith Luk 18:8. Those in faith will be glorified by Him and with Him Rev 20:6.
