Knowing Faith

Faith Responds. Trusting the God Who Never Lets Go.

Knowing Faith book cover

Craig Marvin Johnson

Trust becomes obedience when we place the full weight of life upon God.

Move from agreement to trust, from trust to obedience, and from belief held in the mind to a life placed fully in the hands of God.

Faith places the full weight of life upon God.

Seven movements

The journey through Knowing Faith.

Each movement opens Scripture, names a place of formation, and invites a faithful response.

01

More Than Believing

Biblical faith rests the weight of life on Christ rather than optimism, emotional certainty, intellectual agreement, or confidence in faith itself.

02

The God We Trust

Faith becomes reliable as disciples learn God's unchanging character and trust the covenant God who initiates, speaks, protects, corrects, and loves.

03

When You Cannot See the Way

When God's path is hidden by waiting, silence, or uncertainty, disciples learn to trust His heart without denying their questions or pain.

04

Faith Under Fire

Trials expose the lesser trusts comfort can conceal and invite believers into honest surrender, steadfastness, wisdom, and deeper freedom in Christ.

05

Faith That Obeys

Obedience is the fruit of saving grace, taking the next faithful step before the outcome is visible while following the obedience of Jesus.

06

Faith That Grows

Faith deepens through Scripture, prayer, worship, fellowship, remembrance, and ordinary discipleship until a believer's life increasingly resembles Jesus.

07

Finishing by Faith

Believers run with endurance, remain engaged in Christ's mission, and trust the Shepherd who holds them until faith finally becomes sight.
