Ephesians 2:8 tells us that the faith of Jesus Christ, the only faith by which we can be saved, is a gift from God as an expression of His grace. Galatians 5:22 tells us that God-given faith comes from having His Holy Spirit abiding within us. In summary: Christ’s faith saves us as He gives […]

Jesus Christ is called the Author and Finisher of true Christian faith (Heb. 12:2). As a man He showed us how to appropriated true faith from God the Father, live it and perfect it. By arranging to have His way and walk recorded by Bible writers, He reveals to us how to appropriate Scripture-based faith, […]

True saints of the Biblical God have the very FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST living and operating within them. Many in professing Christendom have faith in Him, but extremely few allow Him to place His own faith within their heart (mind) (Mat. 7:13,14). To embrace Christ’s faith gives the believer the same faith Jesus used as […]

Both faith and righteousness on the part of the salvation-seeker are necessary in order to attain the eternal life he seeks. Faith is the absolute assurance that what God said in His Word is true. Righteousness is the result of obeying the Truth (Jn. 17:17) He recorded in His Word. Though this process sounds simple […]

Jesus Christ has defeated Satan, thereby qualifying to become Lord of Lord and King of Kings. He now intercedes for those who truly seek help in overcoming Satan and the temptations of the world.

As has been shown in previous postings, an open-hearted study of God’s Word will prove to the honest seeker of Truth that WORKS ARE NECESSARY IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR SALVATION.

One of the earliest lessons I can remember being taught relative to religion was that, having committed my life to Jesus Christ, joined the church and been baptized, the fix was in. Over the years I was repeatedly assured that I was saved and born again, and […]

Most people involved in professing Christendom believe that Christian faith consists of believing that Jesus Christ existed, that He came to earth to live among men where He died for the sins of mankind. Consequently, there is nothing left for them to do in that Jesus did everything that needs to be done in order […]

In the Scriptures Jesus is called “the Word of God” (Jn. 1:1-4,14/Rev. 19:13). Before coming to earth in human form He was God’s Word in spirit form. While on earth He was God’s Word in human form. Having been born again (changed from flesh to spirit-see Born Again), He is once again God’s Word in […]

In Hebrews 6:1 we find that faith is one of the foundational principles of the Christian walk which, if maintained, leads to the perfecting (maturity) of the believer. In Hebrews 11:6 the Apostle Paul’s language grows more adamant relative to faith as he declares that it is impossible to please God without faith. In 1 […]
