The gospel according to Matthew tells of the moment when Jesus talked with His disciples and taught them about faith.
Many people think faith is not necessary but the Bible itself teaches that without faith and love we cannot please God, but we see that the first thing that was mentioned was faith, since faith is what allows us to believe in the Lord with all our heart, helps us every day to trust in God and to believe that some day what we all have long awaited will be manifested: The coming of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
Faith in the Lord is what keeps us standing, it allows us to look for Him day by day. It helps us to pass those trials that come every day to scourge our spirit so that we faint and stop believing in the Lord.
