Faith in Jesus Christ is faith in every word of God

InSpiritInTruth · Jan 7, 2015

Some believe faith in Jesus Christ is faith alone in the man and what Jesus did on the cross, which is a very important part of our faith no doubt. But faith in Jesus Christ is much more than just faith in the man, but it is also faith in every word of God.

Because after all Jesus Christ is the very Word of God made flesh; meaning all scripture that is spoken by the Spirit of God is also faith in Christ. The reason I bring this up is because some say they believe in Jesus, but yet at the same time they say they don't believe in everything the Bible says is true. So what do you believe?

I will start out the conversation with this verse in Luke 4:4 "And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God."

I just found this thread on page 2. Nice Topic!
It's been a busy day here today with much debate and all, so that's why your thread was missed. The threads move fast down the index page and by time you hit 'post reply' the thread itself will already be heading down the page on these busy days.

Well about your post -- I haven't met anyone that will say that they don't believe everything the Bible says is true but I have met a lot of folks that don't bother with most of it and only focus on smaller parts that make them feel good.

'Welcome' here, btw - I just saw that you signed on today.
Hope you feel at home.

Jesus is the word of God so having faith in Him is the same as having faith in the word of God. Or did I miss something?

ChristIsGod · Jan 8, 2015

Yes, you missed that Jesus = Joshua.

So LORD JESUS CHRIST say to you, dearly beloved Kerry, who confess to have faith in HIM, as having faith in the word of GOD, to further continue with HIM to add/supplement to your babes in CHRIST faith that;

"If/Unless you 'abide' in My word/teaching(every Word of GOD), you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

Thank you and be blessed in the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST.

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

umm... this is in there too..believe or not...

Thanks for the greeting. You say you have not met anybody who says they don't believe everything the Bible says is true. But let me give you an example in these forums for instance. I was in another thread yesterday about old earth verses young earth ideology. Many who call themselves Christians believe in evolution, but yet they also say they believe in Jesus Christ. These 2 views are contrary to one another because the word of God does not teach evolution.

Here's another example I've run into over the years. I have had active homosexuals and transgender persons tell me they believe in Jesus Christ, but yet they don't believe that lifestyle is a sin. (even though God's word is clear on this matter)

So that is just a couple of examples I've seen, but there are more, just not as clear cut.

As it is written regarding Christians that;

"Many are called but only a few are chosen."

"The road that leads to the Kingdom of GOD is narrow and is very difficult to follow and only a few will make it."

Romans chapter 1 onwards GOD speaks about them, who once we were as Gentiles in ignorance and did everything that was pleasing in our sight.

The Bible says to have the faith of Jesus.

James 2:1 KJV
(1) My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

Revelation 14:12 KJV
(12) Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

What we need to know is what is the faith of Jesus we are to have.

Jesus is The Word Of God. (Jn 1:1) Scripture is The Word OF God. True belief in Jesus must include belief in the divine inspiration and authority of Scripture.

Hey, someone found my first thread I posted when I came here to this forum. Didn't get much attention then, but it holds an important message still today, and that is to believe on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord. To believe in the Son of God is to also believe in the Word of God, that means every Spirit breathed part of scripture given to the prophets of old.

What Spirit did the prophets of old speak by? Peter knew....

1 Peter 1:10-11[SUP]10 [/SUP]Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:

[SUP]11 [/SUP]Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow."

They testified by the Spirit of Christ.....(Word of God)

Revelation 19:10
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

Yeah, or even as Jesus (The Word) of God (made flesh) had spoken the words of God (which we are to hear) and that same word would judge us in the last day because Jesus (The Word) said the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

Moses wrote of me (God says to Moses)

Duet 18:18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

Even as Jesus said,

John 12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

Continued in Duet

Duet 18:19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

Even as Jesus (The Word made flesh) says the word he (The Word) has spoken

John 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

This stuff is so awesome

And faith in Jesus mean faith in Jesus alone. You can't have faith in Jesus and Mammon or Mary.

that would have to mean you haven't met a roman heretic, or a muslim, or a chrislam, or a wof, etc etc etc --- there's many on this site who don't believe every Word of Yahweh - they actually may not believe any of what Yahshua says - but they want to think they do, right up until JUDGMENT DAY when Jesus tells them "begone from Me, I NEVER KNEW YOU"..........

Yea it is awesome when you dig deeper into it. Like the word of the Lord coming to the prophets.

Genesis 15:4
And, behold, the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.

1 Samuel 15:10
Then came the word of the Lord unto Samuel, saying,

2 Samuel 7:4
And it came to pass that night, that the word of the Lord came unto Nathan, saying,

2 Samuel 24:11
For when David was up in the morning, the word of the Lord came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,

1 Kings 6:11
And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying,

1 Kings 17:2
And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,

1 Kings 21:17
And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

And on, and on, and on, and on.......all the way to John the Baptist...Luke 3:2
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

But John confessed he did not know Christ (the man) so how did the word of God come unto all these men? By the Holy Spirit= Spirit of Christ.

And then ...."the Word was made flesh" in Jesus.

Yeah, I recall asking you about the one in Daniel, I was like, wait a second, which he is this speaking of

Dan 9:2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.

That was the only one I was confused about, I thought, well Christ had a decease to accomplish (as Moses, the law) and Elijah (the prophets) the two which talked to him showed in the vision of the mount.

But then I was like, wait... I think rather its speaking of the one in his reign

Daniel 9:2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.

Then ofcourse you could go back in Jeremiah to be sure never the less the word of the LORD come to them, they speaking in the name of the LORD

James 5:10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

I recall the first time someone pointed out to me Job was a prophet. Isnt that correct?

Well, James says to take the same (the prophets) as an example of those suffering affliction and of patience (who have also spoken in the name of the Lord) then he says, "Behold" (concening them which endured) and points out to us the patience of Job (of which patience) the prophets were an example to be taken.

Yeah, anyone who "the word of the Lord came to" by the Spirit of Christ was a prophet. And yes, I believe that "He" who would accomplish 70 years IN Daniel 9:2 is speaking of the word of the Lord....the Lord declares it ...and it is as good as done.

Isaiah 55:11
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Jeremiah 29:10
For thus saith the Lord, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.

Faith in Jesus Christ is faith in every word of God
