AI OVERVIEW: Faith is a gift from God that must be cultivated; trusting Christ begins the school of faith, where you learn basic principles and how to live in a world opposed to Him. Five requirements for learning to walk by faith are introduced, beginning with listening to God as absolutely basic, because without hearing Him you cannot know where to go or what to do. Steps to listen include meditating on Scripture, praying over it, applying its truth and observing results; setting aside time to be quiet; recording what God has spoken with a date; and disciplining oneself to hear the Spirit. Abraham's life shows obedience and dependence, trusting and obeying, while his lapse into Egypt reveals how disobedience can bring temporary wealth but lasting problems.
