FOUNDATIONS: Principles of Christ
FAITH TOWARDS GOD is a key to our walk with Jesus! The definition of FAITH is a “complete trust or confidence in someone or something” In Hebrews 6, the word translated FAITH, means assurance, belief, believe, strong unwavering conviction, a commitment, persuasion of the truthfulness of God, confidence, a reliance, a relating to God. Hebrews 11:1 in the amplified bible says “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen (the conviction of their reality – faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses).
Romans 12:3 -- For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. THE MEASURE OF FAITH … what was apportioned to every one of us. He gave all of us the same amount! Faith is like a muscle … you don’t get more muscles when you exercise… you build up what you already have. Faith that isn’t actively working is dormant, like a seed in the ground waiting for spring … life is still there. Faith is on the inside of you ready to rise up. Every believer has faith inside! And the Word of God tells us how to build-up our faith, not how to get more!
