Faith is then a choice we make, making faith an attitude that leads to action.

The purpose of my faith is to bring me hope without fear. This is not only beneficial for the life to come, but also in this present life as well.

To live without faith is to live without hope.

The moral of the story is, faith does not always bring you happiness, wealth or a comfortable lifestyle filled with fun things to do. What faith does bring us is hope while living out God's attitudes of: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control, all for the glory of God and the establishment of his kingdom.

Jesus is the only door we can enter to gain salvation and eternal life, and he is also the only way we can gain access to understanding the message of our faith.

To understand Christianity, you must understand what the Old Testament reveals to us; for Christianity is a by-product of the covenant God made with Abraham – around 2,000 B.C. – through which Judaism and then Christianity were born.

Remember, morality is God’s standard, not humankind’s standard. So it is important that we understand the process that God used to bring us his wisdom, truth and historical perspective.
