Articoli correlati a The Face of Faith
Faith is at the center of the Church and its very foundation; all that the Holy Spirit will do in one’s life is associated with faith. Therefore, it has always been part of the Christian vocabulary and is a central focus in regards to doctrine. Even the New Testament writers had to address it in the Church as devils sought to taint the faith revealed in and through holy men of God. In particular, James describes faith and declared that faith must be reflected in one’s good works, that is, faith can be seen in one’s life. James explained that faith is not just an internal recognition and agreement with the facts presented; but said that real faith that resides within the core of one’s soul will result in works outwardly. Faith that abided, also acted. Faith that was set inwardly would surely result outwardly. James said, “I will show you my faith by my works (Jam. 2:18). Faith, then, can actually be seen operating in someone’s life. Faith is not a whimsical power, but a concrete presence. Faith is established by Christ and is founded in Christ, for He is the Author and Finisher of faith (Heb. 12:2). Faith is not known or shown by what we receive, or through a mere statement. Faith hopes in God knowing that every event or experience is in His hands. The believer knows that all the events foretold in Scripture happened just as the Lord revealed, stated, wrote and recorded. The believer reads the biblical event knowing full well it took place as recorded. The person of faith understands the surety of God’s word, and knows that every future event noted in the Bible will also unfold just as sure as every past event took place and happened as He revealed. Faith sees the Scriptural future to come as a history that is waiting for its time to unfold; it will take place as though it already happened. Faith knows and hopes in the surety of God’s word, trusting fully in the past events as well as the future to come. His promises are worth more than anything else seen in this world. All that God has said will surely be, and will truly come to pass. This confidence is the believer’s sure footing. In and through this confidence, the believer not only possesses all that is of Christ, but also becomes possessed by His Holy Spirit. Life is lived out with this knowledge at the core of their being, guiding every thought, word and action, that is, you belong to Christ. As you read this book and proceed through each aspect of faith, simply ponder on your own life of faith and apply this book’s message to your life. To be people of faith, we must understand faith, and faith can be seen; it is the very evidence of those things that are not seen working in you. Faith has a face! You can know it when you see it. “The Face of Faith” was written for believers to know and understand faith; to recognize faith in their lives and in others. No one should be ignorant regarding the faith, rather, let every believer find the faith that pleases God and gains the rewards of God.
