I started reading the Bible just to share the gospel and some how for me it became about Good Works, I couldn’t understand why my entire family would get COVID since I was sincerely seeking God and then thru GRACE, God Showed me That it is FAITH that pleases him not our good works (we will still do good works out of Love) BUT GOD IS FOR EACH AND EVERYONE OF US. 
 faith pleases God. Faith helps us endure. 
Romans 4:3-5 
For the scriptures tell us, “Abraham believed God, so God declared him to be righteous.”
When people work, their wages are not a gift, workers earn what they receive. But people are declared righteous because of their faith, not because of their work.
Romans 5:3-4 
we rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trails, For we know that they are good for us- they help us learn to endure. And endurance develops strength Of character in us, and character strengthens our confident expectation of salvation.
