And By Faith...(salvation cont'd)

Total access to any and everything comes through faith. When we have faith there is nothing that cannot be done! Matthew 17:20 says "...if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain 'move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing would be impossible" We cannot expect to reach our full potential nor recieve everything that God has in store for us if we have little or no faith. Here's a little secret, everything is about faith! Christianity, what some call a religion is really about faith. When Jesus died on th cross He paid it ALL and granted us all access to the riches of the kingdom of God, but if we don't have faith then He died for nothing and we have nothing! Don't let that incredible, loving act be vain in your life. David defeated Goliath by faith, Daniel survived a night in the lions den by faith, the woman with an issue of blood was healed by faith, Bartimaeus (the blind man) was healed by faith, Esther went before the king taking a chance at death and saved the Jews by faith, Noah built an ark (as silly as it sounded) and saved his family by faith, Moses freed and led a nation of people through the parted red sea by faith, Abraham was named by God the father of many by faith. I could go on and on. Every great thing that happened in the bible happened by faith! Without faith, we have no vision, no direction. Think about it, we cannot see God, it is only by faith that we trust Him and everything written in His word. Romans 3:25 says "God sacrificed Jesus on the altar of the world to clear that world of sin. having faith in Him sets us clear." We all have faith in something, even if it's the chair that we sit down in everyday having faith that it will support us. We have to learn how to grow our faith in Jesus because it is through Him that we can have anything that we ask and more! "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" Hebrews 11:1. Take a risk, jump out on faith, He will catch you everytime. 

God is love,
