Faith …in God’s Word

 

Learning to trust the other members of the family is a challenge. (2 Timothy 3:16) All Scripture ….  Is useful to teach us … and to straighten out issues in our lives.  It is our Fathers way of managing his family and growing us up. Have faith in your family. Some of our flesh refuses to grow.

God help us all to mature spiritually. Count yourself worthy to run the race, to mature, to grow in spiritual things and to join your brother Jesus in ruling and reigning on planet earth (Revelation 5:9,10; 10:4) Accept the challenge of your family

Standing In Faith … Hebrews 11:1

Isaiah 7:9 the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is only Remaliah's son. If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all.

2 Chronicles 20:20 early in the morning they left for the Desert of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the LORD your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful."

Romans 4:19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah's womb was also dead. 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,

1 Corinthians 16:13 be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong.

2 Corinthians 1:24 Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm.

Acts 27:25 so keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me.

Building Faith 

Jude 1:20 but you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit.

Romans 10:17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.

Mark 11:22 "Have faith in God," Jesus answered.

Luke 17:5 the apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"

Romans 1:12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith.

2 Corinthians 5:7 we live by faith, not by sight.

1 Corinthians 2:5 so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.

Exercising of faith

Luke 17:6 He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you. Matthew 17:20 Matthew 21:21

Luke 17:19 Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well."

Matthew 9:2 some men brought to him a paralytic, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven."

Matthew 9:22 Jesus turned and saw her. "Take heart, daughter," he said, "your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from that moment. Mark 5:34 Luke 8:48

Matthew 9:29 then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith will it be done to you";

Matthew 15:28 Then Jesus answered, "Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted." And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

Matthew 16:8 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, "You of little faith, why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread?

Mark 10:52 "Go," said Jesus, "your faith has healed you." Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

Luke 7:50 Jesus said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."

Luke 5:20 When Jesus saw their faith, he said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven."

Luke 18:42 Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has healed you."

Acts 14:9 He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him; saw that he had faith to be healed

Development of Faith

2 Corinthians 13:5 examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?

2 Corinthians 4:13 it is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken." With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak,

Galatians 2:20 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.

Galatians 3:23 before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed.

Galatians 3:25 Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law.

Righteousness and Faith

Romans 1:17 For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."

Habakkuk 2:4 "See, he is puffed up; his desires are not upright— but the righteous will live by his faith

Isaiah 26:2 open the gates that the righteous nation may enter, the nation that keeps faith.

Value of Faith

Galatians 5:6 for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor un-circumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

Ephesians 3:12 in him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.

Galatians 3:26 you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,

Power of Faith

James 5:15 and the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.

Acts 3:16 by faith in the name of Jesus; this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see.

Works of Faith

James 2:17- 20 in the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do. As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

Breaking Faith

Joshua 22:16 "The whole assembly of the LORD says: 'how could you break faith with the God of Israel like this? How could you turn away from the LORD and build yourselves an altar in rebellion against him now?

Romans 9:32 Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the "stumbling stone."

Luke 18:8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
