The Secret of Faith

You can never have faith alone. Faith can only come to you with love. Seek faith and it will not come. The secret of love causes faith to arise every time. The secret is revealed. "God is love" (1 John 4:8). God's love gives faith. His love brings all faith. When you experience God's love, you have found faith. Love always gives faith.

Faith must be revealed in your heart. But, that will never happen until your heart is filled with the love of God. "The love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us" (Romans 5:5). Focus on God's love and faith will always come.

When love fills your heart, faith is revealed. They are inseparable abiding gifts of the Spirit of God. "And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love" (1 Corinthians 13:13). Being filled with God's love is the secret of being filled with faith. The greatest gift of God's love gives great faith.

"But God demonstrates His own love for us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). God's eternal love for you is revealed in Christ crucified. Looking unto Jesus on the cross is to behold love divine that brings faith with hope. "Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith" (Hebrews 12:2). Focus on the love of God in Christ and you have found the secret of faith.
