By Faith We Receive

Bible Passage

Romans 5:1–2 CSB

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We have also obtained access through him by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God.

All we receive from God is by His grace. We do not deserve it, and we are not able to earn it. It is a gift offered by grace.

But we must access it by faith.

Galatians 3:14 CSB

The purpose was that the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles by Christ Jesus, so that we could receive the promised Spirit through faith.

We receive through faith.

Whether we are receiving the Holy Spirit or receiving healing.

Whatever we receive from God must be received by faith.

Hebrews 6:12 CSB

so that you won’t become lazy but will be imitators of those who inherit the promises through faith and perseverance.

There are many promises in the Bible.

If you want them to be manifest in your life, you must possess them through faith and patience.

Matthew 9:28–29 CSB

When he entered the house, the blind men approached him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I can do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.” Then he touched their eyes, saying, “Let it be done for you according to your faith.”

This is the statement of Jesus.

It is valid for you today just as it was then.

You will receive from God according to your faith.

Do not let this discourage you.

Rather it should encourage you.

Although your faith may not be strong now, you can strengthen it by feeding on the Word of God.

It is under your control.

God's Word is faith food.

The more you read it, speak it, and hear it, the stronger your faith will grow.

Our mindset must be: I will feed on God's Word and build my faith so I can receive all the blessings God has for me.
