The journey of faith may begin in a moment but is to be lived out in a life-long relationship of obedience, trust and surrender.  In the absence of these there is no real faith.  James said, “Show me your faith without your works and I will show you may faith by my works” (James 2:18).  “Faith works by love” (Gal 5:6).  To truly love Him is to completely trust Him.  The knowledge of His love for us and our love for Him sets the foundation for faith.
