This event has three parts, and it is structured as a sandwich. The middle part, the filling, is the prayer to increase our faith. We need faith to avoid temptation or be a channel of temptation for others. Also, we need faith to rebuke a sinning brother and forgive him when he repents. Out of faith, naturally, we return to God our service as a labor of love, not to gain favor or points to buy eternal life. We receive salvation by faith and live it daily by faith.
