faith

Hebrews tells us that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen and it goes on to say that through faith the elders obtained a good report and it also says that it was through faith (in what God said that Abraham became righteous...so, it goes without saying that it is the same thing today. Through the gift that God has given....faith and through His grace that we are counted in with Abraham and that means we are righteous the same as he is. It also means that we have a home in heaven through faith and faith alone. Nothing can be added, nothing less will do...it is only through faith in the finished work that we can find salvation. We can't earn it, we are not entitled to it, it is only by His grace....through faith. SO IN THESE CHANGING TIMES, IN THIS SHAKY SOCIAL SAFETY NET, THERE IS ONLY REAL SAFETY and that is in IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. Look to HIM and live
