Points
One thing you should know is that God look at is the heart, it is man that look at the physical part, God doesn't see like man do, God sees you through the heart, not with the physical part.
You can distinguish between fake and real faith. You'll know the kind of faith that comes from you because faith comes by listening.
What God gives is the word, the word is the sead that should grow in us. Where faith come from is hearing. God can see you through your heart and He can know the kind of faith that you have.
We can't see the heart of men but we can know it. There are four types of heart; one of them is Rocky heart listening but there's no rule, they believe in short period of time but when temptation Come, they fall out. Stony heart don't bear fruits, they hear the word but it doesn't bear anything. There's a good and honest heart, the heart hear the word, keep it and bear fruits.
What came from God will be revealed by the faith of the man that has good heart. If you believe with all your heart, you will be baptised, you will have a new man in you, the righteousness of God including holiness would come because you are called by God, so the kind of heart you have will determine the kind of faith that you have. The righteousness of God is revealed through faith so if your heart didn't keep the faith then it's dead because it has no faith because it has already been removed from you.
If we can work together according to the righteousness of God, it would be easy for us. Let us allow God to change our heart, with heart, man believe in righteousness. You have to be careful not to do righteousness with eye service. Don't let the devil to take away the Word of God from you because you are fighting for it, because you are fighting for it mean you remain in it and if you let it go, then you are out of the Word of God.
The basic principle is; with the heart, man believe and the word if God is a seed, that seed is the faith we have in us, the faith can be distinguish because with heart we believe. If you allow devil to take the seed away from you, then you have loose your life and after that, it's death.
If you follow righteousness, it would bring you holiness through faith. Follow faith, love, faithfulness, meekness, as you keep the word, you keep the gospel and it bear fruit with patience.
Lesson
God doesn't think or do like man, the way God does His own thing is different, it's even a sin to think that God does things like man, the way God think, it's different from the way man think and the way God sees man isn't the way that man sees themselves. Man sees through the heart, not the physical body, the physical body is what man sees but man may read mind only through investigation and watching actions steadily.
If you have faith or not, or if your faith is real or counterfeit, God knows because He sees your heart, that is why you don't need to faith high service faith, have the real faith. So the type of heart you have would determine the kind of faith that you have.
What God gives man is His Word, the Word is the seed, it is the seed that grows in man but it can only grow in the man that have a heart, the heart that hears Word, keep the Word and bring out the fruit of the Word. But if your heart is opposite to that kind of heart, let God change your heart for you.
