I like the idea that we have "received a faith." Faith is never manufactured, only given and we know from Hebrews 12:1-2 that Jesus is the author of our faith. And then, that faith is held in high regard by the Lord - it is "precious". He holds it in such regard, in fact, that it is tested so that it will come forth as precious gold. It is our faith that will result in praise and honor and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ (1 Pet 1:7).
