Through Repentance to Faith Pt. 5

Derek Prince begins by examining Luke 13:1-5, where Jesus responds to news of tragic deaths by declaring there is only one alternative to repentance: perishing. He then explores the nature of biblical faith, drawing on Romans 10:17 ("faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God") and Hebrews 11:1 to show that true faith is always rooted in God's Word, resides in the heart rather than the mind, and is distinct from hope, which belongs to the mind and future expectation—illustrated by the breastplate of faith and helmet of hope in 1 Thessalonians 5:8.

Prince further explains that faith relates believers to the unseen realm (Hebrews 11:3; 2 Corinthians 5:7) and is fundamentally about faithfulness and loyal commitment to Christ, not merely intellectual assent, referencing the Hebrew "emunah" and Greek "pistis". He highlights the importance of confessing faith and hope in Christ as our High Priest (Hebrews 3:1, 4:14, 10:21-23), and concludes that genuine faith must be tested through trials, as taught in James 1:2-4 and 1 Peter, noting that endurance is only learned through enduring.
