FAITH: Comes by Hearing the Word of God

Romans 5:6: For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.


FAITH: Comes by Studying the Word of God

God has demonstrated His love for you, my friend, in that He gave His Son to die for you. He paid the penalty for your sin, and our holy God now can save you if you come His way. Of course, you’ll have to come His way. There is a mistaken idea today that you can come to Him your way. This isn’t your universe; it’s His universe. You and I don’t make the rules. He makes the rules. And He says that no man comes to Him except through Christ. 1

FAITH: Comes by Obeying the Word of God

Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6

Jesus, thank You for being the absolute answer to all our problems. You lead us in a non-compromising way. You teach us with the untainted truth. You give us the fulness of life. It was not always like that. There was a time when we were without strength. We could not save ourselves. We were destined for a dark eternity. We were lost sinners on our way to hell. But at just the right time in human history, our Savior appeared. The perfect Lamb died for all the ungodly sinners. Thank You Jesus for saving me!

FAITH: Comes by Experiencing the Transforming Work of God

Everything changed for time and eternity when our Savior died for us.

FAITH: Comes by Praying with the Word of God

For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:9

Dear Father, thank You for not giving me what I deserved, and instead, giving me what I never deserved, Your saving grace…in Jesus Name. Amen.
