HOW DO WE RECEIVE FAITH FROM GOD? (3)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. How do we receive faith from God?
a) We know God’s will through His written word, the Holy Bible, and through the voice of the Holy Spirit in us. When God’s will is communicated to us through His Word, we also receive the faith that it is needed to make it happen.
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6 NKJV).
Without faith we can not please God because if God has not given His faith it means that we are trying to do our will not God’s will. It means that we have not received a Word from God and we have not received the confidence that comes from God. Whatever is not from faith is sin,(Romans 14:23).
I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” (Romans 1:16-17 NIV)
b) You can not separate God from His Word.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1 NKJV).
