Faith

Faith is major part of our walk with God. Without faith you cannot please God, and what is not done in faith is sin. You cannot have rest and peace in your life without faith but with faith you can do all things including entering eternal life with Jesus, our Savior and Lord.

Faith often couples itself to other heavenly words such as hope. You can’t have faith if hope is no where to be found. Faith and hope walk together. Faith also needs patience if you desire to inherit the promises of God. And you can’t get saved by faith alone; faith needs grace to make the first move. When faith tries to go it alone without asking in prayer it is bound to fail. Another companion of faith is works. When faith doesn’t take works along, faith is dead, while faith and love is alive.

Faith comes from the author and perfection of our faith, Jesus Christ, through giving ourselves to hearing and acting on the Word of God. Faith starts out as small as a mustard seed but grows larger than a mountain! Faith is as big as God Himself and God has given everyone enough faith to be saved by grace.

Faith can grow by praying in the Holy Spirit and decrease when living by sight. Faith can be dead without prayer and made alive again with grace. Faith is always at rest but also pressing forward into the promises of God. Faith is not faith unless it returns to it’s creator with mission accomplished.

Faith is a container for God’s blessing and this is why faith has plenty of enemies. Not believing in the absolutes of this world will never lead you to believe in an absolute God. Seeking all the accolades of man rather than the simple approval of God in Christ Jesus will defeat your faith. Demanding God to show you signs before you believe will always keep faith in the far right corner.

Faith can grow weary and lose heart but we can turn the faith fight in our favor by returning our gaze upon Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.

If you desire more faith in your life then please read through these scriptures. I have highlighted the meat of the scripture for you. I have found reading though the highlights and the full scriptures that are not highlighted to be of great benefit to growing my faith in thoughtful meditation and prayer.

Once you have greater revelation then go back and read the whole scripture for the context and your faith will even grow all the more. How much do you want your faith to grow? Well, I have planted the seed in this book and now it is up to you to water it everyday until you are satisfied. May your faith always be in God alone; be blessed!

About FSB

Deep dive teaching on words and subject studies. This website and the studies therein are inspired by the real need for people to hear and know God personally. Because of the resurrected Jesus Christ, this is now possible. You can know God and His will for your life deep in your heart, where no man can deceive you. Jesus has given the church great men and women to point us in the right direction, but ultimately, it is our decision whether we will walk with God. Don't be a vicarious Christian. If you seek God with all your heart, you will find Him.

Scripture

As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and asked Him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone. - Mark 10:17-18 NASU

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. - 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (KJV)

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” - John 1:1 KJV

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. - Hebrews 4:12 NASU

How do I get saved?

Jesus said if you want to follow me, you must lose your life. A higher standard than the typical ask Jesus into your heart confession. You have to start somewhere, so make the confession, but then do what Jesus said daily if you really believe in him. Jesus continued telling those who want to follow him that they must also take up their cross. Which means following Jesus will put you under the microscope of today's society. But that is part of the plan of losing your life so that you may live for him eternally. And why would you want to follow Jesus with all the trouble that goes with being his disciple? Because he is the only way through death to eternal life. He is not showing us the way. He is the way!

What is 'Walk with me'?

We are living in the Enoch generation. Enoch walked with God and was found no more because God took him. To walk with God means to hear, to reflect, and then to go out into all the world proclaiming Christ crucified. As a Bible teacher, I have several websites that help people walk with God. If you don't have a church home, walk with me until you do. Walk with me is my version of onboarding people into the Kingdom of God. Subscribe to the Walk with me Newsletter to begin.
