Hello Everyone,

There is a dynamic to this kind of faith that always changes the heart it is the “Work of Faith”.

Acts 15:9 He made no distinction between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith.



Galatians 5:6: For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith

expressing itself through love.



Faith is a power. It never leaves the life unchanged. It can’t, because what you bank your hope on always governs your life.



If you bank your hope on money, if your bank your hope on prestige, if you bank your hope on the American dream, if you bank your hope on power or success, it governs the choices you make and the attitudes you develop.



And so does banking your hope on the promises of God day by day. Belief in the promises of God is the root of all righteousness and love.



In Galatians 2:20, Paul said, I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.



Paul lived his life everyday by faith. Jesus had loved him enough to die for him, and now Paul knew he could trust him, believe him, to take care of him and meet all his needs (Philippians 1:19).



When you bank your hope on the promises of God and on the presence of Jesus, you live differently.

You bear the fruit of righteousness (Philippians 1:11).



What you bank on for happiness controls your life.



Becoming a Believer is the beginning of the battle, not the end.

Paul said to Timothy in 1 Timothy 6:12, Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called ...



In order to persevere to eternal life, we must fight the good fight of faith (1 Corinthians 15:2; Colossians 1:23; Hebrews 3:14).



That’s the battle we are looking at in Battling Unbelief. Believe it or NOT!



1 John 5:4: “This is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.”

Oh How He Loves Us!
