Jesus the Author and Perfecter of Faith!
It was God who call Abram and renamed him Abraham; and we call him the Father of Faith because of his undeniable acts of faith! We read in chapter 11 of Hebrews about Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham and Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses’ parents, Moses, the Joshua and Rahab. All these Old Testament hero’s acted out their faith by trusting and believing God. The bible is emphatic about faith! It declares “the just shall live by faith”. We do not walk by sight or trust in the things which are seen when God is telling us otherwise; we walk by the knowledge of his word and our steps are directed by the unction of the Holy Spirit who leads and guides us into all truth.
Brethren when it comes to faith by the word and unction:
Faith must be practiced.
Faith will be tested.
Faith will be confirmed.
Brethren “we are not those who draw back to perdition” nor shall we be like swine who being bathed “turn back to swallowing in the mud”. We are those who are called and chosen to go forth in the power of the faith of Jesus Christ being more than conquerors! “Turn yours eyes upon Jesus! The songs says! Look full into his wonderful face; and the things of this earth will grow strangely dim in the light of his glory and grace.” God has given us many examples in the Old and New Testaments of those who walked by faith and not by sight. Yet there are two kinds of sight; carnal and spiritual. The one we choose to use determines to outcome of those things which come to try us. Let me leave you with a question; what are you looking at? Selah
Shalom, Agape, & Amen!
