Faith is not a gift from God.
Faith is something man must choose to exercise of his own free will.
#1. We are commanded to believe in Jesus (1 John 3:23).
#2. All men everywhere are commanded to repent (Acts of the Apostles 17:30).
#2. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17).
#3. You shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart (Jeremiah 29:13)
#4. And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. (2 Thessalonians 2:10).
#5. When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. (Matthew 8:10).
#6. Without faith, it is impossible to please God and we are told that if we come to Him, we must believe that He exists, and He is a rewarder to those who seek Him (Hebrews 11:6).
#7. Jesus said to His disciples, “Have faith in God.” (Mark 11:22).
#8. When Peter failed to continue to walk on the water because he was scared of the intensity of the storm, Jesus eventually told him, “You of little faith,” “why did you doubt?” (See: Matthew 14:29-31).
