Faith: Vital, Academic, and Active

Summary

Elder Neal Phelan, Jr. preaches on the nature of faith, dividing it into three phases: vital faith received at regeneration, academic faith gained through knowledge of Scripture, and practical faith demonstrated through actions. He emphasizes that true faith is active and visible, not merely intellectual or passive, and uses biblical examples like Daniel to illustrate faith in action despite trials. The sermon challenges believers to cultivate all three phases of faith so that when Christ returns, He will find genuine faith on earth.
