ONE Faith
Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. The Bible tells us that “Now it is evident that no person is justified (declared righteous and brought into right standing with God) through the Law, for the Scripture says, The man in right standing with God [the just, the righteous] shall live by and out of faith and he who through and by faith is declared righteous and in right standing with God shall live.” Galatians 3v11 (AMP). As believers, just as there is one body, one Spirit, one hope and one Lord, there is also one faith.
Primary Text: Ephesians 4v5
“One Lord, one faith …” Ephesians 4v5 (KJV)
We have one faith. This faith is the faith that cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. We live by this faith, we are justified by faith, without faith, we cannot please God. We are all children of God by faith in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3v26); By grace we are saved through faith, and that not ourselves, it is a gift of God (Ephesians 2v8). Are you still in the faith? Are you holding fast to your faith? Are you living by faith? Are you sharing your faith with others?

“NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].” Hebrews 11v1
“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10v8&9
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10v17
“(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)” 2 Corinthians 5v7
“But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out].” Hebrews 11v6
“Examine and test and evaluate your own selves to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it. Test and prove yourselves [not Christ]. Do you not yourselves realize and know [thoroughly by an ever-increasing experience] that Jesus Christ is in you--unless you are [counterfeits] disapproved on trial and rejected?” 2 Corinthians 13v5 (AMP)
Keep the faith.
Prayer
Father in anyway I have moved away from the faith, please reveal it to me, forgive me, and draw me back to You in Jesus name, amen.
