The Merit Of True Faith

THE MERIT OF TRUE FAITH

OBSERVATION: FAITH DEFINED IS ASSURANCE AND CONVICTION.

INTERPRETATION: HEBREWS 11: 6 (NKJV) BUT WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM, FOR HE WHO COMES TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS, AND THAT HE IS A REWARDER OF THOSE WHO DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM. HEBREWS 11: 6 (THE BOOK-PARAPHRASE) SO YOU SEE, ANY ONE WHO WANTS TO COME TO HIM MUST BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A GOD AND THAT HE REWARDS THOSE TO SINCERELY SEEK HIM.

POINTS TO PONDER:

THE WORD “COMES” IS AN ACTION WORD AND APPEARS FREQUENTLY IN THE BOOK OF HEBREWS. FAITH IS AN ACTION WORD; IT COMES BY HEARING AND BELIEVING THE WORD OF GOD. FAITH TOUCHES THE UNTOUCHABLE AND RAISES YOUR SPIRITUAL AWARENESS AND CONSCIOUSNESS. TRUE FAITH SEEKS, STRIVES AND SUCCEEDS. IT PLEASES GOD!

FAITH ENHANCES YOUR SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING DRAWING YOU INTO CLOSER UNION WITH GOD. FAITH IS PRACTICAL REGARDLESS WHAT UNBELIEVERS THINK OR SAY. FAITH ENABLES YOU TO UNDERSTAND GOD‘S WAYS. IT ENABLES YOU TO UNDERSTAND HIS ATTRIBUTES. IT ENABLES YOU TO DO WHAT OTHERS HAVE NOT DONE.

FAITH BELIEVERS KNOW THEY WILL BE REWARDED FOR THEIR FAITHFULNESS. THEY BELIEVE GOD IS CAPABLE AND REAL. THEY KNOW COMMUNION WITH GOD IS KEY TO THEIR WALK WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT’S HELP. THEY ANTICIPATE GOOD WORKS!

TWO FUNDAMENTALS BECOME APPARENT: GOD IS WHOM HE SAYS HE IS AND HE WILL DO WHAT HE SAYS HE WILL DO. HE REWARDS FAITHFUL SEEKERS.

APPLICATION: ARE YOU A SEEKER WALKING IN TRUE FAITH?
