Add a short description of what it’s about.
Faith is not just an intellectual belief, but as an active, personal commitment to God, characterized by trust, practical action, and total devotion. The article proposes that faith is essential because human effort alone is insufficient to meet divine standards, and it's through faith that God's grace can work to transform individuals. This perspective frames faith as a receptive posture that enables a dynamic relationship with God, leading to spiritual growth and reflection of divine character, with a focus on progress rather than immediate perfection.
This post explores why faith is the absolute starting point for the journey toward Christian perfection, understood not as human flawlessness, but as spiritual maturity and completeness. We'll unpack how faith serves as the foundational block, enabling believers to progressively "add to their faith" through a series of steps like excellence, knowledge, and self-control, all leading toward the ultimate goal of perfect love (agape). Discover how this transformative process is not a burdensome endeavor, but one empowered by God's grace and the Holy Spirit.
