The Excellence of Faith

The Excellence of Faith is a treatise that aims to discuss this all-important subject from multiple perspectives to provide a comprehensive overview that would benefit the body of Christ. The subject of faith, although commonly discussed, is perhaps not fully appreciated, understood, and applied by many Christians. The book goes at length to provide many definitions, explanations, expositions, and practical application of biblical principles of faith.

The book begins with some apologetics of the Christian faith as the faith and our most holy faith. Part of the impetus for writing the book is the phrase the just shall live by faith, which is repeated four times throughout the Bible. Sufficient attempt was made at a comprehensive expos of the phrase and using it as the basis for discussing foundational truths and principles of faith. Pleasing God and living a victorious and profitable/productive Christian life are elucidated as part of the purpose and necessity for faith.

The book extensively discusses the personalization/ownership of our faith as well as the tangibility and reality of faith as a spiritual force to be employed in a believers life on daily basis. Some heroes of faith, based on Hebrews 11, were examined. The book also discussed the concept of types and levels/degrees/measures of faith as well as factors that can hinder our faith. The aim here is to be aware and then develop mitigating strategies against limits to our faith. In living by faith, understanding of certain key/important attributes from the scriptures are discussed extensively. Although an invisible force, biblical faith is always followed by a corresponding action of visible good works. Faith in practice, therefore, always produces a manifestation for all to see. This truth was also discussed in the book.

The book concludes with how faith is acquired, developed, maintained, and matured as the believer grows to become like the Lord Jesus Christ as well as the emphasis on the truth that biblical manifestation of faith always works by Gods love.
