Faith is strengthened by prayer ([http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=jude%2020;&version=9; Jude 20]). For those who strengthen their faith, [[Jesus]] promised "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father."<ref>John 14:12 (NIV).</ref>
Life itself may be the manifestation of God's faith. Decay and death may be the manifestation of a lack or denial of faith. According to [[Paul]], decay and death is the result of [[sin]]. [[Galatians]] 6:8; [[Epistle to the Romans|Romans]] 5:12; [[I Corinthians|1 Corinthians]] 15:21-22. The [[Book of Wisdom]] long before also testified to the same [[doctrine]] of truth about decay and death: "Through the envy of the devil death entered the world". Wisdom 2:23-24.
