When the Son of Man Comes, Will He Find Faith on Earth? Introduction.

In the world, we are living now and for the followers of Jesus, there is nothing more flickering than their faith. Persecution, trials, and pressures arise due to our faith in Jesus Christ. Faith in God and His kingdom are under constant threat by the evil of this world that wants us to believe that we are in a playground instead of in a battleground. If you are a Christian, you are in a fierce war. You're in a life-and-death battle for your faith. Satan is determined to shipwreck and destroy the faith of all of God’s elect. And the stronger your faith, the greater will be his attack against it. Walking by faith and not by sight becomes difficult to follow for the reason that, for our secular and atheist world, faith is not a rational belief since it does not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. The first humans Adam and Eve failed their test of faith. They trusted what they ‘saw’ rather than believing what God said—His words—and became the first example of man choosing to walk by sight rather than by faith. Ultimately, the life of faith is nothing if not an unending struggle of the spirit with every available weapon against the flesh. If we have true faith in Jesus Christ, our good deeds toward building the kingdom of God will justify our faith because faith without works is dead. Faith is the life of our soul, and Christ, the life of our faith, both dwell within our hearts. During the storms of life, the only anchor that won't fail us is the anchor of our faith in Christ because this anchor is kept in heaven. Faith is not belief, and belief is not faith. One comes from the mind and the other from the heart. The soul is the body's life, faith is the soul's life, and Christ is the life of faith.
