Faith is believing:
Colossians 1:16, "For by Him (GOD) all things were created; things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him."
Faith in the LORD realizes:
Proverbs 21:1, "The king's heart is like streams of water. Both are under the LORD's control. He turns them in any direction He chooses," as so with all mankind.
Faith in GOD:
Daniel 5:23, "GOD...determines whether you live or die and controls everything you do."
Faith in Jesus Christ:
James 1:3, "You know that the testing of your trust (in Christ) produces perseverance."
Since the fall occurred in the Garden of Eden (in Genesis), GOD has had a selected Elect. The Elect's perseverance in this world from evil and wicked people (who have chosen to reject Him) is in preparation for:
James 1:12, "Those who stand firm during testing are blessed. They will receive the Crown of Life He has promised to those who love Him."
GOD's Grace has given us the faith to:
Matthew 7:13, "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction and many enter through it." Almighty GOD is in control of all things! I am so humbled that my Creator has "chosen me before the foundation of the world." (John 17:24) Ask the LORD into your heart. Accept His salvation for your sins, and you will be one among the Elect He chose before creation!
