In the passage “TECHNIQUE: FAITH AND GOOD WORK” the bible talks about favoritism, the article states “Suppose a man comes into the your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in. if you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Here’s is a good seat” but say to the poor man, “You stand here” or “Sit on the floor by my feet” have you discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?” This story introduces the idea of favoritism. Favoritism for God is a sin. One of God 's many rule is “Love your neighbor as yourself.” when you show favoritism to some of your neighbor your going again of the rule written in the scripture, you must treat everyone as equal, as God views all of us as
In the New Testament God stated that people should rid themselves out of all malice and hypocrisy. This can be seen when He stated the following, “So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.” (English Standard Version, 1 Peter 2.1).

Faith is something that majority of all us have inside of us even though we may not know it just yet. There are countless ways that faith can be explained on why it drives us to believe that there is more than what we being presented. An example that I know is the conception of an Islam man is to have full faith in his religion and must serve for all, if they are killed for the righteous reason for Allah as what they was supposed to fully believe in, then they are promised a paradise of 72 virgins. Despite believing in something that isn't necessarily needing physical proof. Going back to do we accept only what is presented to us as reality in this case isn't true because those men have no proof of their actually being a paradise full of virgins.
When the grandmother reaches out to touch The Misfit in her "moment of grace" and says to him, “Why you’re one of my babies. You’re one of my own children!” (366). She seems to be filled with love and understanding towards him. Her moment of grace allows her to see the Misfit as a fellow human being in pain and feels obligated to love him, just like the Bible asks you to: “love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.”
God wants everyone to show love toward others and not have power over

The Faith of the three monotheistic religions began about four thousand years ago in the Middle East where a man named Abraham took his son up a mountain. Abraham was one of the first to split away from the belief of many gods and begin to follow one creator, God. He was sent by God up this mountain to kill his only son, Ishmael, which god had given him as a gift a few years earlier as to show that he would sacrifice his life for his. That was true faith towards God! All this began ever since he was a kid, Abraham, who was at the time Abram, started looking for a god other than his leader Nimrod who was looked up to as a God.
Faith is an inherent quality amongst the human race, though what one person has faith in is left up to them and them only. Due to this trait, faith itself is a mystery, interpreted by many, yet is distinct to each individual. The term itself is a grand umbrella overarching all of belief no matter the subject matter.
