THE POWER OF FAITH: MATTHEW 15:28 “Then Jesus answered her, ‘O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.’ And her daughter was healed instantly.” MATTHEW 17:20 “Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” MATTHEW 21:22 “And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.” “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.

LET’S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT GOD’S GRACE The dictionary defines grace as the unmerited favor of God toward men. This does not do justice to the richness of the biblical use of the term, which appears scores of times. Grace is the favor God is able to show to men because Christ died for them; “by grace are ye saved,” Eph. 2:8. Because of His holy character, God could not save men simply because of His mercy and love. The claims of divine righteousness had to be satisfied before He could save sinful men, therefore Christ died in the place of the ungodly, Rom. 5:6. Grace is distinguished from the law, John 1:17; from works, Rom. 11:6; and from debt, Rom. 4:4. Salvation cannot be earned by law keeping or by good deeds of any kind. Men are chosen by grace, Rom. 11:5; justified by grace, Rom. 3:24; continue in grace, Acts 13:43; approach God in prayer at the throne of grace, Heb. 4:16. They grow in grace as they grow in the knowledge of Christ, 1 Pet. 2:2; 2 Pet. 3:18. Men do not fall from grace by sinning, but by putting the law in the place of grace, Gal. 5:4. A remarkable summary of the teaching of grace is found in Tit. 2:11–14. It includes the denial of wrong things, and the positive instruction that we must live soberly, righteously, and godly as we look for the blessed hope of the Lord’s return.

LET US BE THANKFUL FOR THE BLESSINGS OF OTHERS: LIVITICUS 19:18 Never get revenge. Never hold a grudge against any of your people. Instead, love your neighbor as you love yourself. I am the LORD. 1 CORINTHIANS 13:4 Love is patient. Love is kind. Love isn’t jealous. It doesn’t sing its own praises. It isn’t arrogant. GALATIANS 5:26 We can’t allow ourselves to act arrogantly and to provoke or envy each other. COLOSSIANS 3:15 Also, let Christ’s peace control you. God has called you into this peace by bringing you into one body. Be thankful. Let us be thankful not for our own blessings alone, but also for those of others. In this way we will be able both to destroy our envy and to rivet our charity and make it more genuine, since it will not even be possible for you to go on envying those on behalf of whom you give thanks to the Lord. I HOPE YOU FOUNG THIS REFRESHER TO BE HELPFUL. PASTOR ANDRA HIGGINBOTHAM EVERLASTING SALVATION CHURCH OF GOD MINISTRIES PayPal.me/donatetochruch Church link: Everlastingsalvationchurchofgod.com
THE BIBLE TEACHES ABOUT FAITH MARK 1:15 He said, “The time has come, and God’s kingdom is near. Change the way you think and act, and believe the Good News.” HEBREWS 11:6 No one can please God without faith. Whoever goes to God must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who seek him. JAMES 2:17 In the same way, faith by itself is dead if it doesn’t cause you to do any good things. JAMES 2:20 You fool! Do you have to be shown that faith which does nothing is useless? JAMES 2:26 A body that doesn’t breathe is dead. In the same way faith that does nothing is dead.
