How Jesus faces this battle reveals the gravity of our sin while revealing to us the depth of God's love for us. Also, it teaches us the importance of prayer in the face of hardship. | Mark 14:32-42

Just as a potter commits to their clay when they attach it to their wheel, so God commits to us. It is God's unwavering commitment to us that gives us the resources to commit to him. His commitment to us is the essential foundation for our faith. Coming to know that truth is central to the growth of our faith. | Genesis 12:1-4a

God is the creator of all that is, including us. This shows us three things that are critical for our faith:
(1) It shows us his immense, transcendent power.
(2) It shows us his all-consuming knowledge.
(3) How he creates us shows he made to know him.
Combine those three with the knowledge we have of Jesus Christ, we have a unshakable foundation for a robust, life-giving faith. | Genesis 1:1-2, 26-28, 31; 2:7
