So then, the state of our faith can only be fully known in light of our reaction when facing trials... Who we are in Christ is who we are when not getting our way; but rather, seeking God's way. God is good, all the time, all the time, God is good.
The response of true faith (trust)... Job 1:21 "The Lord gives, The Lord takes away, blessed be the name of The Lord.
The action of true faith (repent)...Isaiah 55:7-8 "Let the wicked forsake his way And the unrighteous man his thoughts; And let him return to the LORD, And He will have compassion on him, And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts".
The power of true faith (Jesus)...John 15:5 "I am the vine, you are the branches: He that stays in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.
The origin of true faith (Jesus)...John 15:16 "You did not choose Me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will remain--so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you."
The contentment of true faith (perseverance)...Philippians 4:11-13 "I am not saying this out of need, for I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances. I know how to live humbly, and I know how to abound. I am accustomed to any and every situation — to being filled and being hungry, to having plenty and having need. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength".
The blueprint of walking in true faith (Jesus)... John 5:19 "Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise."
