Title
We have learned that we must live by faith in God’s Word in order to see the victory in our lives
We tell people “have faith”
As we have seen faith is more than a wish…it a tangible demonstration of what we believe
For the next few weeks we are going to look at evidences of faith that should be in the life of the believer
In the opening verses of the book of James, we are told to “COUNT it all JOY...”
The word Count here is the Greek word Hegayomai means to regard something as particularly important - to value it highly
It speaks about the experience that the believer is going through - though tough or painful, it will bring the desired result
It speaks about an understand of the purposes of life’s trials
And why should we highly value though times in our lives?
The word joy here Kharan - means the feeling of satisfaction from becoming more self-aware - seeing the result of our faith in a demonstrated way
You see, the first evidence of faith in the life of the believer is how they respond to difficult circumstances
James says that we “fall” into these events
Te word fall here is means to come into an awkward situation or punishment in part, innocently!
So lets reconstruct the verse:
My friends, regard with great attention the situations that you come into or punishment you receive unjustly, as it will result in a greater self actualization of the living faith that is in you!
Now there are 3 types of faith mentioned in the Scripture
Saving faith; Living faith; Dying faith
Saving faith is the faith of Salvation apart from work according to the Grace of God
That saving faith has been placed in all human on the earth
What they do with it is another story
If saving faith is available to men how is it acquired?
So once saving faith is exercised, faith for living and believing in God’s Word can begin to grow
So how do we grow in the grace and knowledge of our Savior?
Through discipleship!
Now learning is worthless unless it is put to the test!
Patience - the capacity to hold out or bear up in the face of difficulty!
Kittle - The power to withstand hardship or stress; especially the inward fortitude necessary
John in revelations makes an interesting comment:
You see it was all of the trials, tribulations, and unjust punishments that John went through that prepared him for his current state of affairs!
You see when an olive is pressed the most valuable product results from the first pressing!
Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane - Garden of the oil press
