Happy Saturday,
Faith
“Promise #55:
I will reward those who diligently seek Me with a heart of faith.
Hebrews 11:6 (WEB)
Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him,
for he who comes to God must believe that he exists,
and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.”
We must have a little bit of faith to become a Christian.
“The very foundation of our relationship to God is our faith in Him. If we don’t believe that He exists, it will be difficult for us to cultivate a living, loving relationship with Him. Our very salvation comes through our faith as Paul wrote in Ephesians 2:8-9… 8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, that no one would boast.”(WEB)
Even when we are sinners, the Holy Spirit gives us a portion of faith and convicts our hearts of our sins. Each time we reject the Holy Spirit, we kill a bit of that faith. Eventually, the Holy Spirit will no longer reach out to us. Because we have hardened our hearts beyond redemption.
As Christians, we should cultivate our faith in God, tending to our faith as a gardener tends to their gardens. We must not starve our faith, but feed our faith on God’s Holy Word and daily prayers to God.
Pray for the people of Israel. Pray for lost souls.
Maranatha,

Revelation 22:20
I Am Coming Quickly
He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
