Galatians 5:6
Galatians 5:6
For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
There are approximately 3000 religions that aim to lead people back to God after the Fall. However, not all of them acknowledge the existence of God. Being a Christian isn't just about following religious rituals; it's about having a relationship with God. This relationship is based on love between an invisible God and His spiritual children, and it's established through faith. As we journey with God and believe in Him, our inner being or spirit undergoes a transformation that impacts the rest of our lives. This transformation is not brought about by strictly adhering to legalistic obligations but by walking in the love of God through faith. We are justified, saved, and made righteous by our faith in Christ as a response to God's love for us. Our relationship with God through faith defines who we are, rather than our attempts to be right with God by obeying ceremonial laws. We express our faith in God by showing love to one another. While we pay attention to and obey God's instructions in faith, it's our acts of love and compassion that demonstrate our knowledge and belief in God. As we walk with God in obedience and faith, His nature and character rub off on us. Ultimately, it's our good works of compassion, borne out of love, that determine if our walk with God is one of faith.

But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
1 Peter 1:9
Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
Matthew 17:20
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Proverbs 3:11
My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
