FAITH: Comes by Hearing the Word of God
Romans 5:9: Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
FAITH: Comes by Studying the Word of God
What is the great day of wrath? It is what the Lord Jesus called the Great Tribulation. And Paul tells believers that we shall be “saved from wrath.” We have been saved from the penalty of sin; He is constantly saving us today from the power of sin; and He is going to save us in the future from the presence of sin. That means that every believer will leave this earth at the Rapture. We will escape that day of wrath, not because we are worthy, but because we have been saved by the grace of God. We have been saved by grace and we are saved from wrath through Him. 1
FAITH: Comes by Obeying the Word of God
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. John 5:24
Jesus, thank You for Your saving grace. Thank You for the faith to believe. Thank You for the gift of everlasting life. Thank You for no judgement. Thank You for no wrath. Thank You for delivering me from death into life. Thank You for Your justification. Thank You for graciously shedding Your blood for me.
FAITH: Comes by Experiencing the Transforming Work of God
The wrath I deserved was place upon Him, so I could live forever with Him.
FAITH: Comes by Praying with the Word of God
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Ephesians 2:13
Dear Father, I am praising You for giving me eternal life…in Jesus Name. Amen.
