Faith- Beleif and living

The access and the action

Outline:

Faith is the access

We come by faith

Faith is belief that God is who He says he is

The women at the well heard and by faith came

Faith is the journey

We walk by faith- because faith in the reality by which we live and we approve ourselves

We do acts of Faith

The call of Faith

simply is to believe-

John 11:40 CSB

Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?”

This is the goal the prize of our faith- is to see Jesus

He is the prize the treasure we obtain because we answered the call to Believe in faith and receive salvation

Romans 10:10 CSB

One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation.

The call of Faith is to put your trust and your Hope in God

You hear about God then faith gets you to the feet of Jesus-

The women with the blood Issue- If I just touch him- everything Changes-

Hebrews 11:6 CSB

Now without faith it is impossible to please God, since the one who draws near to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

It isn’t minimizing the situations that are unfolding around us, but it is elevating God to His true position as the one who sits on the throne;

Psalm 2:1–4 CSB

Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand, and the rulers conspire together against the Lord and his Anointed One: “Let’s tear off their chains and throw their ropes off of us.” The one enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord ridicules them.

Th nations rage, the fight, the conspire for power.

Yet God is on the throne and He laughs

The life of Faith

When we answer the call of faith, we in turn live the life of Faith-

Faith is taking God at His word-

How else do you overcome the impossible?

Hebrews 11:1–2 CSB

Now faith is the reality of what is hoped for, the proof of what is not seen. For by this our ancestors were approved.

Approved- they are witness of the life by Faith

Faith is reality by which we live-

we walk by faith

we speak by faith

the Word strengthens our faith because it gives witness

The acts of Faith

WE walk by Faith- We see things differently cause We walk in the reality of Who God is.

He isn’t some made up fictional character- He is the Lord almighty the maker of heaven and earth!

When we believe in Faith we begin to live by faith

God is who he says He is
