Though we are saved by grace, we are saved through faith. It is faith that allows us request and receive God’s grace and provision through our trust in God. Hebrews 11  describes faith as the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things unseen. It is faith through which the Holy Spirit gives us the internal witness to our souls which allows us to trust God to save us for eternity and to guide us in this life. Living by faith means following God’s guidance and calling this life, and trusting that God will prepare a place for us in God’s eternal kingdom.
