What Is Faith Series

Contributed by Caleb Onwuka on Oct 16, 2014

Faith is the victory, the distance between your wishes and your accomplishments is your work of faith. The time you would spend on waiting is the building of your faith to receive the answer.

Sin is so powerful, even in the Christian life, because it is so easy to miss the mark of God's high calling. It is the most foolish attitude a Christian can have to think that he could not fall into sin.
