“By Faith…”
(Transcript of CD#73)
In today’s study we are going to look at the subject of faith, our faith. Our faith or lack of is the very thing that will keep us in Christ Jesus or cause us to fall away. Today’s study is just to make us think about growing in our faith. We are going to look at very familiar verses of scripture. We will see how faith will cause us to make sacrifices of love. We will see how faith will take us from this world to Heaven with our Father. Faith will give you and I rest as we live daily in it. That rest will allow us to follow God’s Voice in faith wherever He leads us in His harvest field. Hold those point fresh in your mind as we move through the text. My desire is that this will just make this subject fresh to our daily lives. It’s by faith that you and I are saved in the first place:
- *Eph. 2:8-9 says, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9, Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
You and I have salvation because of our faith that we put into God’s gift, His Son Jesus Christ on the Cross! Satan knows that doubt is what separates us from our Lord, from our faith. He wants to take the Word out of our hearts (study Mark chapter 4) so doubt can come into action. Hearing Word of God and acting upon it is the seed of our faith:
- *Romans 10:17 says, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
