Cvengr: “Through faith in Christ, stress is optional.”
Agree in principle, but we aren’t perfect. If we had perfect faith, we would be completely unassailable by anything in the world. But we struggle. I, for one, don’t have faith enough to move a mountain. However, I believe such faith can exist. I do agree faith brings comfort and the more faith on has, the better they are able to withstand the trials and tribulations of this life.
That’s just the point. We are not perfect, but God is perfect. Through faith in Him, when we are in fellowship with Him, He indwells and continues to sanctify us. This means He provides us perfect faith, doctrine by doctrine, faith by faith, for us to use through faith in Him. Let Him do the work by resting in Him, so we can be at the right place, the right time, to do the right thing He has planned from eternity past in His Plan.
