FAITH: Comes by Hearing the Word of God
Romans 5:10: For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
FAITH: Comes by Studying the Word of God
Reconciliation is the basis of restored fellowship between people and God. Reconciliation through the death of His Son is true. Reconciliation was done when we were God’s enemies. Since reconciliation was accomplished by Jesus’ death, certainly His life is able to insure the complete and final salvation of believers. “His life” is His present life in which He intercedes for believers. He died for His enemies; surely He will save those, His former enemies, who are now fellowshiping in Him. 1
FAITH: Comes by Obeying the Word of God
Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. Hebrews 7:25
Jesus, thank You for always praying for me. You prayed for me when I was insulting You with my cursing words. You prayed for me when I was purposefully violating most of Your written commandments. You prayed for me when I rejected Your continual invitation for reconciliation. You prayed continually for me until I was finally broken, repenting before Your throne of grace. You have never stopped praying for me. May I learn more about true devotion, when I consider Your devoted love for me.
FAITH: Comes by Experiencing the Transforming Work of God
He always does so much more, because He loves with an everlasting love.
FAITH: Comes by Praying with the Word of God
And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. John 10:28
Dear Father, thank You for saving me and keeping me…in Jesus Name. Amen.
