Faith is not intellectual assent, moral courage, positive emotions, absence of doubt.
Faith is dependence. Faith is resting in or relying on something that is greater than you. The only requirement for great faith is great need. This faith you have is a byproduct of who Christ is not what you have done.
There's good news-we are saved by grace through faith alone in Christ alone
But the point is not your faith. The point is what our faith is in--Jesus Christ.
There's a day when our faith will be set aside and we will see Jesus face to face.
