Faith

Faith, what it is, and how it should affect the believer's life.

Salvation is by grace through faith plus nothing.  I can't brag about it because I couldn't do anything to get it except to trust Christ.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:  Not of works, lest any man should boast."

Ephesians 2:8-9

Keeping God's Law perfectly is impossible!  And trying to keep the Law for salvation is also impossible!  Salvation is only possible through faith in His Son.

"Where is boasting then?  It is excluded.  By what law? of works?  Nay: but by the law of faith.  Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law."

Romans 3:27-28

“Stand up, stand up for Jesus, ye soldiers of the Cross!”

"Beloved when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints."

Jude 1:3

“Stand up, stand up for Jesus, ye soldiers of the Cross!”

"Beloved when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints."

Faith that is tried by fire is a strong faith that will stand the test of time.

"That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ."

1 Peter 1:7

Faith that is tried by fire is a strong faith that will stand the test of time.

"That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ."

Be sure to blend your faith with what you see and hear in God's Word.

"For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it."

Hebrews 4:2

September 5, 2019

We need to be pursuing faith as well as other spiritual virtues.

"But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness."

1 Timothy 6:11

Do you have "little faith," or do you trust God to meet all your needs?

"If then God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?"

Luke 12:28

If you can see it, it's not faith!

"For we walk by faith, not by sight."

2 Corinthians 5:7
