There is no other One who gives the hope that he is going to return and set up his Kingdom. 1 Faith carries with it the idea of accompanying assurance. If we have faith, God gives us the assurance, the certainty, the knowledge, that we have passed from death unto life. Second, we must have a changed attitude toward sin. We don't practice sin.
Sin is no longer a habit in our lives.
But suppose we do sin. Suppose we slip and fall. Suppose we yield to temptation for a moment. We have to confess that sin. Not only are we to confess, but we are to forsake.
