God's Words of Wisdom from the Bible for Friday 24 June 2011

"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"

Today's Bible Verse:  Romans 1:17 "For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."

From faith to faith means faith is at the beginning of the salvation process and it is the goal as well.  When a person first exercises faith in Christ, that person is saved from the penalty of sin and declared righteous ("Praise God").  As we live by faith, God continues to save us from the power of sin to live righteously.

What kinds of or expressions of faith are there in the Bible?  In Scripture there are six. (1) Doctrinal faith refers to the content of Christian belief (2) Saving faith is trusting in Christ and in Him alone for salvation (3) Justifying faith is the Christians reliance on the fact that God has declared him or her righteous (4) Indwelling faith is trusting God's Word in and through us (5) Daily faith is that day to day dependence on God which is part of the sanctification process (6) the Gift of faith is a special ability of faith, resulting in a vision of what God can do, faith that is the means by which we can achieve that vision, and the power of God to get answers to prayers.

Salvation has past ( forgiveness), present (power to live a godly life) and future (resurrection transformation).  Faith in Christ is the key to experience every aspect of salvation, from first to last.  We as Christians should remember that it is impossible to please God without faith.

Today's Hymn: "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" (verse 1)

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee; 
Thou changest not, Thy compassion's, they fail not;
As thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hast provided
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit strength our faith Lord in You so that in our daily lives we might serve You and bring glory to Your name which is above every name.  How thankful we are that Your promises never change and You never change your mind.  Thank you Lord for Your faithfulness unto us.
                                                                                                       Amen

Today's Biblical Truth: "The proof of Jesus' deity is His resurrection from the dead"
