Reading the Bible in its full contextWe must read scripture in its proper context rather than taking single sentences or half verses out of context, just as we would read a full letter from a father.

What is the difference between real faith and demon faith?Even demons believe correct doctrines about God, Christ, and the resurrection, so intellectual assent alone does not save anyone.James 2:19

First aspect of faith: Personal confidence in God as FatherReal faith brings a personal confidence and an inner witness of the Holy Spirit that God is our Father, an experience no demon can ever have.

Repentance as the doorway to true faithJesus died for sinners, not for self-righteous people; true faith always begins when a person turns away from sin and receives the Spirit.

Second aspect of faith: Lifelong dependence on the LordFaith is like a branch depending entirely on the tree for life and fruit, living a relaxed and effortless life through Christ.

Faith compared to a marriage commitmentBeing a Christian is like a woman committing herself fully in marriage to her husband, taking his name and allowing him to control her life.

Third aspect of faith: Proof through the works of ChristFaith without works is dead; just as a marriage produces children, genuine faith in Christ will produce the works and character of Christ in our lives.James 2:18

The work of forgiving othersOne of the greatest works of Christ is forgiving those who have harmed us, and a true believer will manifest this same forgiving spirit.

I can do all things through ChristThe confession of true faith is that we can obey every command of God not in our own strength, but through Christ who strengthens us.Philippians 4:13
