THROUGH FAITH

 

It is impossible to please God without faith. Heb 11:6, seeing that we cannot please God, it therefore important to know what faith is and how we can acquire it.

 Faith is the confidence of what we hope for and the assurance of what we do not see. Heb 11:1. It come through hearing and hearing by the words of Christ. Rom 10:17

Another definition of faith is complete trust assurance that God is able to do what He has promised. Rom 4:20-21.

We can conclude from the above verses that the reason why the faith of many does not yield results is because they are trusting God to do what He has not promised; for example having faith for an enemy to die. Since faith comes through the words of Christ, if we want our faith to grow we must dig deeper into the words of Christ.

We see Jesus rebuking his disciples for unbelief; and Mat 17:17, Mark 16:14. There also many things that Christ wanted to do for some people but didn’t due to their unbelief. Mat 13:58. Unbelief ties the hands of God. Could there be many things that God has wanted to do for you but could not because of your unbelief??? He said numerous times, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT DONE UNTO YOU, and YOUR FAITH HAS MADE YOU WELL. Mat 9:29; 15:28, Mark 10:52.

God promised the children of Israel the land of Canaan and when they reached the border of the land and God said unto them to go in and possess the land, they didn’t because of their unbelief and God was angry with them and swore that they would never enter that land except Joshua and Caleb. Numbers 32:10-12, Deut 1:21,26,29-36 Heb 3:12,19; 4:6,11

God has given us the same warning that we should not follow in the same example of unbelief

There are many things in God which can only access through faith; let look some of them.

Our preservation until then end by the power of God is through faith. 1Pet 1:5

We can only inherit the promises of God through faith and patience. Heb 6:12

Our salvation though by grace is through faith; Eph 2:8

We receive the promise of the Holy Spirit through faith; Gal 3:14

Our forgiveness of sin through the blood of Christ, who God has set as the mercy seat, is through faith. Rom 3:25

The righteousness that pleases God is not that which comes through law but that which come through faith in Christ, the righteousness of God that depends on faith. Phil 3:9

Christ dwells in our hearts through faith. Eph 3:17

We thus see how faith is important in our Christian walk and thus we must walk and live by faith always.
