"Greetings in the Name of Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 24 August 2011"
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 the beginning of the salvation process and it is the goal as well." When a believer first exercises faith in Christ, and accept Him as our Lord and Savior we are 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.
In Scripture there are six expressions of faith: (1) Doctrinal Faith: which is the content of the Christian belief (2) Saving Faith: is trusting in Jesus and in Him alone for salvation (3) Justifying Faith: is the Christians reliance that God has declared him and her righteous (4) Indwelling Faith: is trusting in 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) Gift of Faith: is the special ability of faith, resulting in a vision of what God can do.
Faith is the means by which Christians can obtain 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, strengthen our faith in You, so that in our daily lives, we might serve You with gladness and bring glory to Your name which is above every name. How thankful we are that Your promises never change and that You never change Your mind. Thank You Lord for Your faithfulness unto us.
Amen
