Faith does not come from the effort comes for the delivery

God always seeks the sacrifice of the heart, for it is the surrendered heart that believes. Faith comes from the heart, not from the mind. Living a life of surrender to God can only lead to a growing faith. This place of surrender is an expression of God's dependence.
Such dependence comes from humility, which basically means "seeing ourselves as He sees us." Dependence is self-surrender, it is the appearance of true humility.
So faith and humility are related.

Faith is not a product of human intelligence or effort. Is not the fruit of our work, or if it would not be of human origin. Faith is of another world, firmly anchored in nature, the presence and promises of God.
It is vital for a great faith to learn to come to Him with reverent fear, knowing that we are accepted by Him. Faith is not a product separate from Him, but is because of Him. Faith is the result of His nature that Has an impact on the heart of the believer.

The priests of the Old Testament could not wear wool in the presence of God, since wool could make them sweat. They were instructed to use linen. The illustration is quite clear, we can not come before God through our own effort (sweat). We must come before Him through His effort, which was conceived to make us acceptable before Him.

Faith is called a fruit and a gift of the Spirit. You have never heard a fruit tree complain and strive to produce the fruit. The developing fruit is the evidence that the tree holds its place (remains) on the ground in order to receive nutrients, sunlight and moisture correctly. Likewise, those who remain in Christ can not fail to grow In faith, as a natural result just as it is for an apple tree to produce apples.

When I find myself anxious, I ask myself the most important question, how did I lose my peace? If I can respond, I am usually able to detect the lie that I believed caused such a conflict in my soul. They follow the confession and abandonment of sin, which God uses to restore peace. And that place of peace is the place where faith matures.
