Faith – The Foundation
Faith is the starting point for everything in our walk with Christ. In 2 Peter 1:5, Peter urges us to build on our faith, making it clear that faith isn’t just a concept—it’s the foundation. But what is faith, really? Hebrews 11:1 describes it as being confident in what we hope for and sure about things we cannot see. It’s trusting God even when the road ahead isn’t clear.
Think of Abraham. When God called him to leave his home and go to an unknown land, he obeyed without knowing the details. This is faith in action (Genesis 12:1-4). It’s not passive; such faith moves us to respond.
Faith comes by hearing the message of Christ (Romans 10:17). When we listen to God’s Word, it stirs belief in our hearts. But faith doesn’t stop there. James reminds us that faith without action is lifeless (James 2:17). Real faith changes how we live—it gives us the courage to step out, the strength to persevere, and the joy to worship even amidst trials.
Today, reflect on your faith. Are you trusting God in every area of your life? Are you listening to His Word daily and responding in obedience? Faith isn’t just believing God exists; it’s believing He is who He says He is and will do what He’s promised.
Start your journey by asking God to strengthen your faith. Trust Him, step out in obedience, and watch how He shows Himself to be faithful.
About this Plan

Written to early Christians facing cultural pressures and spiritual confusion in the first century A.D., the apostle Peter’s second epistle provides a framework for living a fruitful life in Christ. Second Peter 1:5-8, in particular, represents a call for believers to grow spiritually by strengthening the foundation of their faith through endurance, godliness, and the like. Over the next eight days, we will explore the virtues Peter identified as underpinning a Christ-centered life and why they still matter today.
