FAITH: Comes by Hearing the Word of God
Romans 3:19: Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
FAITH: Comes by Studying the Word of God
These quotations from God’s Law, the Old Testament Scriptures, lead to one conclusion: the whole world is guilty before God! There may be those who want to argue, but every mouth is stopped. There is no debate or defense. The whole world is guilty, Jews and Gentiles. The Jews stand condemned by the Law of which they boast, and the Gentiles stand condemned on the basis of creation and conscience. 1
FAITH: Comes by Obeying the Word of God
At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:10–11
Jesus, thank You for allowing many situations in my life that have caused me to humble myself before Your holy presence. When I bow my heart before You in complete surrender, my knees also bow before You in complete adoration. Please make the words of my mouth and the mediation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight oh Lord. I pray to use the right words to express to the world that You are my Savior and Lord. I want to make that confession every morning when I awake.
FAITH: Comes by Experiencing the Transforming Work of God
The guilty have been declared innocent at the throne of mercy and grace.
FAITH: Comes by Praying with the Word of God
But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. Galatians 3:22
Dear Father, thank You for forgiving me of all my guilt and sin…in Jesus Name. Amen.
