A person can never fully understand faith and its power without first coming to Christ regardless of their belief or disbelief in God. The first step toward faith is accepting Christ as your personal Savior. John 1:12.
"But as many as received him , to them God gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name".
Revelation 3:20
Jesus said: "Behold I stand at the door, and knock: if any man will hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

That was everything for me... the spiritual relationship with Jesus... I loved Jesus, I loved what He taught and wanted Him in every aspect of my life. Then the more I sought this relationship, I found it... He came into my life and I felt a connection to God like never before. He began to teach me more and more everyday... I can't exactly say when I was "saved"... but I believe it was around the age of 14 or 16. Salvation, was a process for me, and I'm still in the process.

Faith comes from the study of God's word.
Romans 10:17 (King James Version)
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Faith doesn't "come from" a personal relationship with Jesus. Faith is the means to finding and developing a personal relationship with Jesus.

That's it, it's confirmed in me! I'm a Catholic. I've heard so many things from so many sides and read so many scripture passages saying this and that, and you know what? The Catholic arguments WITH SCRIPTURE PASSAGES were the most clear. "Unless you eat the flesh, and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you do not have eternal Life", "He Breathed Unto them and told them 'Go, and those who's sins you forgive on earth are forgiven in heaven, and those who's sins you've retained on earth are retained in heaven'".
I have solid scriptural proof for the Catholic Sacriments of the Eucharist and Confession.
You may find some obscure passage to try to condemn that, but it will be MUCH LESS clear cut and simple, and will be out of context.

Faith is a gift from God to you when you accept him as your personal savior and the Holy Spirit he gives you to teach you in the things pertaining to God and Jesus it bares wittiness to them and the more you seek him the stronger it gets and teaches you more about them. People we have to realize one thing here God chooses us we didn't chose him we accepted him.

faith comes from hearing and hearing from the word of God.
if they won't listen to Gods word they won't have faith,
and Jesus is the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us.

To be reconciled with God we get carry of Jesus Christ as our own Saviour. We inform Him we are sorry we've not lived God's way and we turn faraway from our very own techniques and choose in our coronary heart to stay His way. Almighty God is familiar with the purpose of our coronary heart, and after we get carry of Christ, the comprehensive Godhead includes stay interior us - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit then works in us to stay by ability of God's handbook, the Holy Bible. interior the e book of Genesis we be taught Abraham being a chum of God - specific that is mutual - examining the bible and speaking with the Lord establishes a dazzling intimate courting with our author, who has plans for our lifestyles - plans to love us, and prosper us, heal us of each and every thing the evil one stole from us - and provide us desire from commencing to end. i think of that is in James the place the Holy Spirit tells us He yearns over us with a jealous love. Jesus gave up His lifestyles on the circulate so all mankind would be reconciled back to Almighty God - Jesus Christ; the way ~ the actuality ~ The lifestyles! would He bless you right this moment and continuously Sarah :)
