FAITH: Comes by Hearing the Word of God
Romans 8:38–39: For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
FAITH: Comes by Studying the Word of God
“Any other created thing” would include anything else you want to mention. Absolutely nothing can separate us from the love of God which is centered in Christ.
My friend, salvation is a love story. We love Him because He first loved us. Nothing can separate us from that. We entered this chapter with no condemnation; we conclude it with no separation; and in between all things work together for good. Can you improve on this, friend? This is wonderful! 1
FAITH: Comes by Obeying the Word of God
But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, being justified by His grace we become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:4–7
Live your Christian life under the banner of His righteousness, His mercy, His Holy Spirit, His Justifying Grace and His never separating love. Fill your mind and your heart with His truth. Mediate on what the Word says, not on what the world does.
FAITH: Comes by Experiencing the Transforming Work of God
True love stays when everyone else leaves.
FAITH: Comes by Praying with the Word of God
For God so loved the world that He gave…John 3:16
Dear Father, teach me to love and to give, just like You do…in Jesus Name.
