"God puts people right through their faith in Jesus Christ. God does this to all who believe in Christ, because there is no difference at all: everyone has sinned and is far away from God's saving presence. But by the free gift of God's grace all are put right with him through Jesus Christ, who sets them free."
Romans 3: 22-24
Mature faith is "living". It changes as we grow and change. Mature faith is "explicit": authentic, and connected to Christ. Mature faith is "fruitful": filled with justice and compassion.
