”That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:” | 1 Peter 1: 7

FAITH is that belief and trust which the saints have in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Through faith they are both humbled and exalted, brought down and lifted up.

Through faith they see the exceeding sinfulness of sin and the pure righteousness of Jesus the Christ.

Through faith they are condemned yet justified, guilty yet innocent, naked yet clothed, sorrowful yet “rejoicing with joy unspeakable and full of glory.”

No wonder the Bible speaks of faith as “precious faith.”
