YOUR FAITH IN GOD

By Jay Pearson

 

Your faith in God is the most important project you will ever prepare in your life. It is a gift from the Lord Jesus Christ. Just as God placed man in the garden of Eden to dress it and keep it, we are to dress and keep our faith. It is essential for your being. It is a shelter for those around you that have no shelter. As you act on your faith in God, you radiate the light within you to those who have eyes to see.

Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Your faith in God is contingent on you believing that God is and he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. You must believe that God is truthful and that what he says about loving you is true.

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

God has more abundance than you will ever need. God has more power than you will ever exercise. God has more life than you will ever exhaust. He wants to share everything he has with you in Christ Jesus, your God, your Savior, and your Lord

Colossians 1:13-14
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

Don’t let sin stand in the way of your faith in God. We all sin every day. That’s why God gave us a savior in Jesus Christ.

Psalm 103:13-14
13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

1 John 2:1-2
1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

Your faith in God is not your faith in your strength. Your faith in God must in God and not be in the faith of others.

Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Your faith in God is really quite easy. You come to God believing that he is and he will reward you and not punish you for your past sin, sin of a year ago, a week ago, or a doubt ago.

1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1 Thessalonians 5:18
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Your faith in God is the most important project you will ever prepare in your life. It is believing that God is everything he says he is and everything he has promised is true. He loves you and wants to reward you with all he has for you and it awaits you in Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 12:2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Ephesians 2:4-8
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Your faith in God. Dress it and keep it.
