Therefore if someone says you do not have it, do not believe him/her. By reading the Bible (which is The Word of God) one can acquire faith. Thirdly, our object of Biblical faith should be on God and Lord Jesus Christ as read in Mark11:22 and John 14:1. These are the three fundamental aspects of Biblical faith.
