Faith pleases God. The prayer of faith receives from God. Those who walk with God, walk by faith. Oh, the importance of faith is found again and again in the Bible. Faith understands the way of God. Faith obeys God. Yet, having said all this, faith is not the greatest thing, but love is!
Faith never comes alone. Faith is the constant companion with love. Seek faith and it will not come. See God's love and faith arises every time. The reason is simple. "God is love" (1 John 4:8). God is the source of all faith. He is the focus of all faith. When you see God's love, faith is there. Faith and love always come together.
Faith must come from your heart. But, that will never happen until your heart sees 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). When you see God's great love, faith is there. They are inseparable 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).
Faith sees God's love. In Christ crucified, by faith you see God's unconditional love. "But God demonstrates His own love for us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). Look unto Jesus at the cross. See God's love divine by faith. "Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith" (Hebrews 12:2). .
