Faith, Without Any “Ifs”

Faith Makes All Things Possible

Faith is assurance, a know-so not a hope-so way of understanding why things happen.

It is what allows us to believe in the one, true God without actually seeing Him.

Keep in mind that the Bible uses the words faith, belief or believe interchangeably.

And at the end of the day, eternal life is received by grace through faith.

Can We Add To It?

YES!

Also, we can pray and ask God for more faith — James 1:6 — “⁶ But let him ask in faith, without wavering. For he who wavers is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed with the wind.”

 

 

Does It Change Us?

YES!

In 2 Peter 1:5-11 we read —

^“5 For this reason make every effort to add virtue to your faith; and to your virtue, knowledge; ⁶ and to your knowledge, self-control; and to your self-control, patient endurance; and to your patient endurance, godliness; ⁷ and to your godliness, brotherly kindness; and to your brotherly kindness, love. ⁸ For if these things reside in you and abound, they ensure that you will neither be useless nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ But the one who lacks these things is blind and shortsighted because he has forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins.

¹⁰ Therefore, brothers, diligently make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble. ¹¹ For in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly provided for you.”

 

Living Changed By Faith

 

 

May we continue to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling and may we continue to intentionally study God’s Word so we can come to know Him even better and experience His faith in growing measure — Romans 1:17 – “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”
