Christianity Quote by Desmond Ford

“Faith is not something you have to work up. Faith is not something achieved by psychological striving, or by logical reasoning. Faith is God's gift to those who hear that God loved them enough to die for them. If you do not oppose that, if you do not resist the gospel, faith is born and reigns.” quote by Desmond Ford — Download Open image
