Faith Toward the Saints

Paul talks about Faith toward the The Lord Jesus Christ and the saints (fellow believers) (Philemon 1:5).  We understand faith toward The Lord Jesus, but how do we show faith toward saints?

Relationships of all kinds require faith including relationships with people in the church.  We have faith that God will work in us and through us, bringing his glory to those we know.  We have faith that church members have a desire to do good.  Most people do not set out to hurt others.  We handle situations as best we can, but are naturally prone to mistakes.

When we are aware of how often we have filed others, we find it easier to forgive those who fail us.
