Rom: 4:22
And because of Abraham's faith, God counted him as righteous.
Faith is that little opening into our lives, our character, that God needs to start changing us into his image... So he declares us righteous because from this tiny mustard seed of a start all else He will change.
(By contrast the only unpardonable sin is blasphemy against Holy Spirit, for this is the opposite of faith... This is to declare in your heart that God is worthless and unable to save us.)

Faith is such an amazing idea to think about. I think the scriptures say our faith begins as a gift from God, which grows as we exercise it. Our collaboration honors Him. It's pretty cool!
Doubt is a pain
too lonely to know
that faith is his twin brother.
