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

Well Said, I have had some Rough times, IN the LAST couple of weeks. And if it was not for my faith in GOD to get me through. I would not have made it.
We need to put our complete trust in him, and have faith in him to lead out path.

Here are some Scriptures That have help me through out that last couple of weeks. And The faith that GOD has shown me in the last couple of weeks, Has encouraged me to do my devotions and WANT TO spend more time with the lord....
MAN HE IS FAITHFUL.

Philippians 3:9
and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.

Hebrews 10:22
let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.

hi Randall
Faith a little word but it means so much.With out it we have nothing.
Our whole live is based on it.This gift from God has got me through alot I don't know how people who don't have it get through all that live has for us.It is knowing that no matter what happens God has it all worked out for me that makes every day a gift and not something to dread.And when this life is over I look forward to seeing Him face to face.

Faith ,because we have it we take it for granted ,everything we do we do without much thought and this is because we have faith it is going to happen and it does but how offten do we thank God for all he does for us even though we don't even ask him,this is Faith ,to me Faith is Trust in God for everything no exceptions.
