FAITH IN CHRIST

 

Faith is the substance of and confidence in an invisible and is by hearing and reading ( Heb 11.1, Rom 10.17-18 ) .

 

For meaningful faith should:

- Understanding ( Matt 15.16, Luke 24.45 )

- Knowledge ( Rom 10.14-18 )

- Trust (1 Jn 5.14, Eph 3.12)

 

Three reasons for confidence in the Scriptures:

1. This is the inspired Word of God ( 2 Tim 3.16-17, 2 Pet 1.21 ).

2. This is the truth ( John 17.17 ).

3. The closer the end of time, the more we are convinced of the truth of the Words,

because ALL the PROPHECIES are EXECUTED ( 2 Pet 1.19, Dan 12.4, 9.10 ).

 

Without FAITH IT is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE HIM ( Heb 11.6 ).

We have to pray on the strengthening of our faith ( Mark 9.24, Luke 22.32).

 

God always will perform all the prayers in his time and His way, if they agreeing to his will and his word. "And this is the confidence we have in him, that, where we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he is no hearings into us in everything, why should we not ask - know that GET REQUESTED of HIM                                         (1 Jn 5.14-15 ).

 

Only believer obedient, docile and only believe ( Ezek 36.26-27, Rom 3.31 ).

 

Faith must be supported by DEED ( Jac 2.17, Eph 2.10 ).
