Faith

Ephesians 4:1-61 I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have

been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one

hope of your calling, 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is

above all and through all and in all.

Ephesians 4:7, 11-137 But each of us was given grace according to

the measure of Christ's gift…11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the

evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the

body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of

the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

Hebrews 11:1Great Examples of Faith

1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about

what we do not see......

But what is Faith? It is a divine "evidence and conviction of things not seen;" of things which are not seen now, whether they are visible

or invisible in their own nature. Particularly, it is a divine evidence and conviction of God, and of the

things of God. This is the most comprehensive definition of faith that ever was or can be given…

Faith is all about the

things of God!

I exhort you, Lastly, who already feel the Spirit of God witnessing with

your spirit that you are the children of God, follow the advice of the

Apostle: Walk in all the good works whereunto ye are created in Christ

Jesus. And then, "leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, and not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and

of faith toward God," go on to perfection.

Yea, and when ye have attained a measure of perfect love, when God has circumcised your

hearts, and enabled you to love him with all your heart and with all your soul, think not of resting there. That is impossible. You cannot stand still;

you must either rise or fall; rise higher or fall lower. Therefore the voice of God to the children of Israel, to the children of God, is, "Go forward!" "Forgetting

the things that are behind, and reaching forward unto those that are before, press on to the mark, for the prize of your high calling of God in Christ

Jesus!"

Faith

John 20:24-2924 Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25 So the other

disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it." 26 A week later his disciples were in the

house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them

and said, "Peace be with you!" 27 Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand

and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe." 28 Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!" 29 Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed;

blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
