One of the most common traditions and mistakes in this area of believing is that trials and tribulations develop faith. Trials and tribulations DO NOT develop faith. Romans 10:17 says, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Trials and tribulations will develop PATIENCE. We have already seen from James 1 that this is true. The Apostle Paul says the same thing in Romans 5:3 “And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;” Faith is developed as we ACT on the Word of God. Hebrews 12:2 states that Jesus is the Author and Finisher, or Developer of our faith. It doesn’t say that satan is the developer of our faith.
