FAITH IS THE RESULT OF BELIEVING GOD'S WORD!


SALVATION IS A GIFT TO THOSE WHO HAVE FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST!

Ephesians 2:8-9For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:  it is the gift of God:  not of works, lest any man should boast.

FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST:  THE NEW TESTAMENT MESSAGE!

Acts 15:7-9 - (The Apostle) . . . Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the Word of the Gospel, and believe.  And God, Who knows the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as He did unto us; and put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

Acts 26:15-18 - (The Apostle Paul giving his testimony of coming to faith in Christ) . . . Who are You, Lord?  And He said, I am Jesus Whom you persecute.  But rise, and stand upon thy feet:  for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which you have seen, and of those things in the which I will (reveal) unto thee; delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in Me.

Romans 5:1-2 - Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:  by Whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Galatians 3:22-26But the Scripture has concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.  But before faith came, we were kept under the Law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.  Wherefore the Law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faithBut after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.  For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3:9 - (The Apostle Paul was not counting on his) . . . own righteousness, which is of the Law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.

Hebrews 11:1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
               11:4 - By faith Abel . . . .
               11:5 - By faith Enoch . . . .
               11:7 - By faith Noah . . . .
               11:8 - By faith Abraham . . . .
               11:20 - By faith Isaac . . . . 
               11:21 - By faith Jacob . . . .
               11:22 - By faith Joseph . . . .
               11:23 - By faith Moses . . . .
               11:31 - By faith the harlot Rahab . . . .

FAITH COMES BY HEARING, AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD!

Romans 10:8-17 - . . . The Word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart:  that is, the Word of Faith, which we preach; that if you shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.  For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For the Scripture says, Whosoever believes in Him shall not be ashamed.  For there is no difference between the Jew and the Gentile:  for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him.  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.  How then shall they call on Him in Whom they have not believed?  And how shall they believe in Him of Whom they have not heard?  And how shall they hear without (someone telling them)?  And how shall they (proclaim Him), except they be sent?  As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who (proclaim) the Gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!  But they have not all obeyed the Gospel.  For Isaiah said, Lord, who has believed our report?  So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.

DO YOU HAVE FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST?  HE IS THE ONE WHO DIED FOR YOUR SINS; HE IS THE ONE MEN BURIED; HE IS THE ONE HIS FATHER RAISED FROM THE GRAVE; JUST AS THE SCRIPTURES SAID WOULD HAPPEN!  TRUST IN HIM TODAY WHILE YOU HAVE TIME, FOR TIME IS VERY SHORT!
