Your Faith

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. {17} “For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. - SAINT JOHN 3:16-17 - HOLY BIBLE - New International Version

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: - 1 PETER 1:7

Praise JESUS CHRIST!

JESUS GREETINGS Saints,

     Today is the day of Salvation.  Harden not your hearts as they did in the provocation {HEBREWS 3:7-9}.  These timely words spoken of by the Precious HOLY SPIRIT in the Beautiful Book of HEBREWS, show forth that we are, as said in another Scripture, to redeem the time, because the days are evil {EPHESIANS 5:16}.  With this said, it is guaranteed that if we don't make amends with ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD Today, by accepting in faith HIS PRECIOUS only Begotten Son, THE LORD AND GOD JESUS CHRIST {SAINT JOHN 20:28}, and HIS TRIUMPHANT DEATH AND RESURRECTION {SAINT JOHN CHAPTERS 19 AND 20}, we may never get another chance to make this all-important decision, that will not only change the course of our earthly existence, but will also determine our eternal home as well {SAINT MARK 16:15-16}.

     With this truth in mind, it becomes apparent that ALMIGHTY GOD, So Greatly Loves us {SAINT JOHN 3:16}.  HE, in and of HIMSELF, Has ALREADY Supplied all things that we need [PHILIPPIANS 4:19] pertaining to life and godliness {2 PETER 1:3}.  JESUS, HIMSELF, Has ALREADY Taken upon HIMSELF all the sins and mistakes we would ever make {SAINT JOHN 1:29}; past, present, and future.  This sinless Lamb of God, The SON of The Living GOD {SAINT MATTHEW 16:16, 26:63, SAINT JOHN 6:69, 11:27}, IS LOVE {SAINT JOHN 15:3}, and HE so graciously Desires that each of us walk in Love {2 JOHN 1:6 - HOLY BIBLE - New International Version} with those within the Kingdom of Heaven, and those without {COLOSSIANS 4:5}.  Friends, the only way we can walk in love is to know that we have been saved by the Great Grace of ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD, and by placing our faith in HIS BELOVED SON {EPHESIANS 2:8-9}.  When we exhibit our CHRIST-Centered and Glorifying faith, we bring a hearty smile to our HEAVENLY FATHER'S HOLY COUNTENANCE, and great joy in our lives, as well.

     In today's Foundational Scripture, we see that the Apostle Saint Peter encourages us, By the PRECIOUS HOLY SPIRIT, in his letting us know that our faith must be tried.  We have to show forth to a world that needs to know our JESUS, the love and faith that only comes through and by THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, and is substantiated by our personal relationship with HIM, our HEAVENLY FATHER, and the BLESSED AND PRECIOUS HOLY SPIRIT Of JESUS CHRIST!  Let's face it folks, "faith without works is dead {JAMES 2:20, 26}".  This my friends in no way depicts that we are saved by good works.  No my friend, on the contrary. We are not saved by doing good works, we are saved By Way of the GREATEST WORK OF LOVE Ever Displayed By anyone, and That Was JESUS, HIMSELF, Leaving the Comforts of Heaven, thus Coming to the earth HE Created {GENESIS 1} To Be Crucified, and Resurrected for our justification, and ultimately for our glorification {ROMANS 8:30}.  Some place the defining posture of the word 'justification' to mean that in ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD'S BEAUTIFUL EYES That Because CHRIST JESUS DIED For our sins, it is "just-as-if we never sinned."  HALLELUJAH!

     Staying with today's Scripture, it is imperative that we come to the holy conclusion that this "measure of faith {ROMANS 12:3}" ALMIGHTY JESUS Has Given us, must be tried.  This trying of our faith is not to show forth or instruct our GREAT GOD in anything, for HE ALREADY KNOWS ALL THINGS.  It is simply for us to know what HE HAS ALREADY, THROUGH CHRIST JESUS, PLACED WITHIN US {COLOSSIANS 1:27}, and for us to grow in grace {2 PETER 3:18}, going from faith to faith {ROMANS 1:17}.  Let's face it, walking by faith is not always easy, but many a times it can be very fun.  Please allow me to explain further.

     When we put CHRIST JESUS First Place in our lives, it allows HIM to Work in our lives, simply because without faith, it is impossible to please Him {HEBREWS 11:6}.  I don't know about you, but knowing that my walk with ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST {SAINT LUKE 24:13-14} is pleasing HIM, makes me enormously joyful and desiring to walk more upright through the faith HE HAS so Faithfully Bestowed upon and in me.  Therefore, when we go through various trials, testings, and adversities, it is our faith in the CHRIST JESUS that ensures that we WILL make it through to the desired haven of our "wealthy place {PSALM 66:12}"  

     Lastly, it is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed {LAMENTATIONS 3:22}.  Because of the LORD'S Mercy in HIS Giving unto us His Faith, we can triumphantly overcome every time our enemy, the devil, comes against us.  However, we must always remember that the devil, as well as all creation, is under ALMIGHTY JESUS'S CONTROL.  The devil can only go so far {JOB 38:11}.   It does us well to remember this, the next time we find ourselves in a very difficult trial, in order that we might "war a good warfare {1 TIMOTHY 1:18}", fighting "the good fight of faith {1 TIMOTHY 6:12}."  When we fight this good fight, we must realize that our faith is being challenged by the enemy.  Although we have an enemy, we MUST remember that he is already defeated at the CROSS OF OUR GREAT GOD, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, some 2018 Years Ago.  The HOLY BIBLE Goes on to say that our JESUS, destroyed all the works of the devil {1 JOHN 3:8}.  So please remember, although "your faith" must be tried as by fire, it "might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ {1 PETER 1:7b}". Amen? Amen!  "Little children keep yourselves from idols. Amen. {1 JOHN 5:21}."
