Q

CHARACTERISTIC OF FAITH
CCC #153…Faith is a gift of God, a
supernatural virtue infused by him. “Before this
faith can be exercised, man must have the
grace of God to move and assist him; he must
have the interior helps of the Holy Spirit, who
moves the heart and converts it to God

A

Faith is a grace

22
Q

CHARACTERISTIC OF FAITH
CCC #155 In faith, the human intellect
and will cooperate with divine grace:
“Believing is an act of the intellect
asserting to the divine truth by command
of the will moved by God through grace.”

A

Faith is a human act

23
Q

CCC #161: Believing in Jesus Christ and in
the One who sent him for our salvation is
necessary for obtaining that
salvation.42 “Since “without faith it is
impossible to please [God]” and to attain to
the fellowship of his sons, therefore without
faith no one has ever attained justification,
nor will anyone obtain eternal life ‘But he
who endures to the end.’“43

A

The Necessity of Faith

24
Q

CCC #160: To be human, “man’s
response to God by faith must be free,
and. . . therefore nobody is to be forced
to embrace the faith against his will. The
act of faith is of its very nature a free act.”

A

The Freedom of Faith

24
Q

CHARACTERISTIC OF FAITH
Fides Querens Intellectum
158”Faith seeks understanding“: it is intrinsic to
faith that a believer desires to know better
the One in whom he has put his faith, and to
understand better what He has revealed; in
the words of St. Augustine, “I believe, in order
to understand; and I understand, the better to
believe.”

A

Faith and understanding

25
Q

CCC #162 Faith is an entirely free gift that God
makes to man. We can lose this priceless gift, as St.
Paul indicated to St. Timothy: “Wage the good
warfare, holding faith and a good conscience. By
rejecting conscience, certain persons have made
shipwreck of their faith.”44 To live, grow and
persevere in the faith until the end we must nourish
it with the word of God; we must beg the Lord to
increase our faith;45 it must be “working through
charity,” abounding in hope, and rooted in the faith
of the Church.46

A

Perseverance in faith

26
Q

GIVEM ME THE 7 Effects of Faith

Love to Christ (1 Pet. 1:8)
Confidence (Eph. 3: 1-21)

Prayer (Heb. 4: 16)
Attention to His ordinances (Heb. 4:2)
Zeal in the promotion of His glory (1 Cor. 15: 58)
Holiness of heart and life (Mt. 7:20)

26
Q

CCC #163: Faith makes us taste in advance the light
of the beatific vision, the goal of our journey here
below. Then we shall see God “face to face”, “as he
is”. So faith is already the beginning of eternal life:
When we contemplate the blessings of faith even
now, as if gazing at a reflection in a mirror, it is as if
we already possessed the wonderful things which
our faith assures us we shall one day enjoy.48
