Faith is incredibly important to the Christian walk. Aside from the fact that it is our faith in Jesus Christ that saves us from eternal death, it also opens the doors for the gifts of the spirit; healing, miracles, casting out of demons and evil spirits and many more. There are many times in the Bible where Jesus healed people from sickness and diseases because of the faith that the people had that Jesus could heal them.
