Faith functions as a continual uninterruptible act of choice
Evidence
Faith comes in the form of a constant choice and it’s a choice we can never stop making, no matter how hard the situation. It’s a choice to follow God and do what He asks, regardless of how we feel, what we think, or what we want. Just as God loves us unconditionally, we must trust Him unconditionally. — Chuck Missler, The Kingdom, Power and Glory, 1156
