In the opening chapter of his book - James introduces us to faith as a progression. It doesn’t start out fully formed -it’s tested. And the more you test it - the truer it becomes. In fact, it is through repeated testing and perseverance that we become all that we were meant to be. Faith is not just a belief system; it is the application of that belief system to our lives. Let's begin working our way through this process as James presents it.
