Aim: To live by faith—believing God's word out of love for Christ.
Why faith is God's priority: because it truly glorifies Him, and because it only fetches Jesus to us.
Exegesis: The three dynamics of real faith: it knows that its source is in the Father's goodness (vv. 3-5); it knows that its sustenance is in the Son's promises (vv. 6-8a); it knows that its Sabbath is in the Spirit's work (vv. 8b-9).
Further application: How faith works in believers: first, we must be grounded in doctrine; then, we will be fruitful in Jesus.
Key verse: v. 7 ''That the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.''
