Faith

[Farman Rasheed]

At salvation, we accepted the Bible teaching that jesus is the son of God and that we receive forgiveness and new life as promised by committing ourselves to him. It was a heart belief that resulted in action on our part. Now. As christians there  are many promises.

Accessed by prayer, which become ours through exercising faith. We have all been given a measure of faith which grows as it’s used, ROMAN Chapter number 12 verse 3.

“ God has given me a special gift, and that is why I have something to say to each one of you. Don’t think that you are better than you really are. You must see yourself just as you are. Decide what you are by the faith God has given each of us”

This vese teach us  our alive God give us a becautiful gift “FAITH” . because God says  with you talk to me then only for you i leave his heaven and come on earth and look our and give you blessing.. jesus teach us “you call me and when you call me with pray+faith then i must give you everything in world.

DEFINITION:

Faith is putting our full condidence in God as our source and in things he has revealed that we have a positive anticipation of. It does not depend on external evidence. It invlovens implicit reliance on god and his promises with assurance and certainty. Faith is responding in relaxed trust of god’s working in our lives.

EXAMPLES;

1) Abraham,  Rom chapter number 4 verse 16 to 22  “ So people get what God promised by having faith. This happens so that the promise can be a free gift. And if the

promise is a free gift, then all of Abraham’s people will get that promise. The prom- ise is not just for those who live under the Law of Moses. It is for all who live with faith as Abraham did. He is the father of us all.  As the Scriptures say, “I have made you a father of many nations.” a This is true before God, the one Abraham believed— the God who gives life to the dead and speaks of things that don’t yet exist as if they are real.  There was no hope that Abraham would have children, but Abraham believed God and continued to hope. And that is why he became the father of many nations. As God told him, “You will have many descendants.”  Abraham was almost a hundred years old, so he was past the age for having children. Also, Sarah could not have children. Abraham was well aware of this, but his faith in God never became weak.  He never doubted that God would do what he promised. He never stopped believing. In fact, he grew stronger in his faith and just praised God.  Abraham felt sure that God was able to do what he promised.  So that’s why “he was accepted as one who is right with God.”

Heb Chapter number 11, verse 8;

“God called Abraham to travel to another place that he promised to give him. Abraham did not know where that other place was. But he obeyed God and started traveling because he had faith”

My dear our alive God give us everything with faith. When we see the faith of Abraham. Abraham belive on God and her faith on alive god. Maybe Abraham is old man. But with faith God give a becautiful childs in after the 100 years ago.

2) Faith of Moses,

Heb Chapter number 11 verse number 24 to 29  “Moses grew up and became a man. He refused to be called the son of Pha- raoh’s daughter. He chose not to enjoy the pleasures of sin that last such a short time. Instead, he chose to suffer with God’s people. He did this because he had faith.  He thought it was better to suffer for the Messiah than to have all the treasures of Egypt. He was waiting for the reward that God would give him.  Moses left Egypt because he had faith. He was not afraid of the king’s anger. He continued strong as if he could see the God no one can see.  Moses prepared the Passover and spread the blood on the doorways of the people of Israel, so that the angel of death c would not kill their firstborn sons. Moses did this because he had faith.  And God’s people all walked through the Red Sea as if it were dry land. They were able to do this because they had faith. But when the Egyptians tried to follow them, they were drowned.”

3) Centurion:

And we are see the faith of centuion, centuion have faith on alive God. Matthew Chapter 8 verse number 5 to 11. “Jesus went to the city of Capernaum. When he entered the city, an army officer came to him and begged for help.  The officer said, “Lord, my servant is very sick at home in bed. He can’t move his body and has much pain.”  Jesus said to the officer, “I will go and heal him.”  The officer answered, “Lord, I am not good enough for you to come into my house. You need only to give the order, and my servant will be healed. 9 I know this, because I understand authority. There are people who have authority over me, and I have soldiers under my author- ity. I tell one soldier, ‘Go,’ and he goes. I tell another soldier, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and my ser- vant obeys me.”  When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. He said to those who were with him, “The truth is, this man has more faith than anyone I have found, even in Israel.  Many people will come from the east and from the west. These people will sit and eat with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in God’s kingdom”.

4) woman of Canaan,

Matthew chapter number 15, verse number 21 to 28.

5) Nobleman,

John chapter number 4 verse 46 to 53.

In all Bible we see more person they have more belive on God. Have more faith on alive God. Because we must belive/faith on God. When we have faith on god then god must give everything in world.
