I do not believe as strongly as I do except that the grace of God has lead me to. Jesus Christ is the Rock in which I stand. He is my faith. He is my righteousness. He is my redemption. He is my salvation. Jesus is the rock that cannot be shaken. As I behold Him, I am changed. In this is love, not that we love God but He loved us by sending Jesus as a propitiation for our sin. Too many Christians fail to realize that it is not about THEIR love for God that keeps them strong.It is actually the LOVE OF GOD that draws us to Him. We cannot have faith except that it is given to us by grace. Peace and grace to you beloved one of Jesus.

I believe as strongly as I do because of my faith and it is this faith that keeps me strong! It doesn't hide the frustration, anger, sadness or imperfections, it just keeps me going knowing that I have a purpose and reward when all has passed away.

The personal experiences. Like, lets say that evolution was only believed by say 10 people, but, 1 of those people, some how saw the earth as it was formed, and *knew* that evolution was true, no matter how hard you attacked them, they knew the truth and wouldn't change. That is why I believe so strongly in what i believe.

Courage of faith from family, friends and church environment. God always told us to connect with fellow believers. This is one of the reasons. Two is better than one. When you fall down, another person can help you.
The fire is only a process to make us stronger and stronger and better. Just like the blacksmith uses fire to make a beautiful sword.

When a person becomes born again, the Holy Spirit "moves in" so to speak. You can tell that He is there. My faith of many years brought suddenly brought me all the proof that I need a few years ago just like God the Father said it would. A sort of light came on inside me. Haven't been the same since nor will I ever be!

My first name has been my first name ever since I can remember. Nobody disputes my first name but if they did, I would still claim it.
The same for my love of Jesus. My faith in Him is the same to me, as knowing my own face in the mirror.
What's to keep strong about that? I can't waver about Jesus any more than I can about myself.

True Pride is one thing, the Pride you are talking about is a sin.

"Remembrance"
Strength comes in: "Remembering, to never forget."
A person might ask, just what is it that a human must always remember?
A human must always remember that "Only God is God, other than you Oh God, nothing exists."
