Hey Everybody,

I hope your week is starting off well. Here are a few thoughts for your day.

Faith

Faith has to be related to loyalty, belief, and reliance. Paul affirms that in Jesus Christ faith works by love (Galatians 5:6). It is impossible to please God without faith (Hebrews 11:1, 6), but faith without love is unacceptable (1 Corinthians 13). Faith without works is dead (James 2:26). Therefore, faith is the life-stream in a man’s existence. Faith saves, edifies, corrects, reproves, and makes believers perfect in Jesus Christ.

A man’s heart is purified by faith in God (Acts 15:9). By faith people repented of their sins and were baptized for the remission of their sins (Acts 2:38). Humans are sanctified by faith (Acts 26:18). The Gospel of Christ is preached among all nations for obedience to the faith (Romans 1:5). Once we are justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1).

There is only one faith (Ephesians 4:5). Christians are to progress in the faith (Philippians 1:25). Paul says, “If indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven” (Colossians 1:23). Christians show a faith of steadfastness (Colossians 2:5). Paul remembered, without ceasing the work of faith, the labor of love of his brethren, the Thessalonians (1 Thessalonians 1:3). A Christian’s faith must be defended. Therefore, the Lord tells us to take on the whole armor of God, so that we may be able to withstand in the evil day. Truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, God’s Word and prayer – these are our weapons against the power of evil, and we must use them continually (Ephesians 6:10-18).

Have a great rest of the week.
