LET US STUDY SOME TOPIC NOW...
TOPIC IS FAITH

F A I T H ........ A key in Christian life
Many times i have failed to maintain the right faith before God
We need faith before God, faith before people..
Some times faith may not work.. in this world
But before God it works
So i am writing little stuff here on ''FAITH'' topic
Thank you Jesus.... to learn on faith
..................................................................................................
F A I T H
A key matter before people and God..
Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
FAITH is a great property in some saints lives in old testament
They lived with faith... They never failed in faith matters
FAITH is very key in our lives before Lord
1. It is substance of things hoped for 2. Evidence of things not seen.

STEP 1
1Jn 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
Here John saying.. because we keep His commandments, and do thonse things are pleasing in His sight..
STEP 2
Joh 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
Here Jesus saying, you need to believe me.. this is like commandment...
STEP 3
Keep faith because God is good in all .... all time..
He is love ...

TO KEEP FAITH... MAIN OBJECTS ARE.....
1. GOD .....
.
Joh 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
3 : 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
He is author to make faith in our hearts..

2. CHRIST
John 6: 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
He died to keep us holy,, this can tell us to keep our faith holy..
He is died for us, buried for us and rose for us

3. GOSPEL
Mar 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
If gospel is not given to us.. we may perish
Jesus ... died 2000 years back..
These generations not seen the fact and what God did for them
So if Gospel is not reached to us.. we may perish..

4. PROMISES OF GOD
Rom 4:21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
OH wonderful blessing to read this verse.. God is not liar.
Heb 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. ........
yes they are great mentors to us.. they kept strong faith in God..
Mat 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Mat 6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
Wonderful call is this.. He is promising us to feed and give better life
Thank you Jesus...
Dear brethren ... we need to keep our faith in all times ,...Many times we are failing to keep our faith clean and strong.. .
God bless you all

While faith is surely a great gift........the Greatest Gift from God is Jesus Christ.........without Him, of what value is faith?

The gospel does not demand faith..it supplies it!

Romans 10:17 (NASB)
[SUP]17 [/SUP] So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

I would say the greatest gift from God is Love. His love for us, which He showed us when He gave His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. Jesus said in John 15:13 "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."

Also God gave His love to us by way of the Holy Spirit dwelling in our hearts...
Romans 5:5 "And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us."

This was done so we could keep the "new" commandment, to love one another as He loved us.

So my vote for the greatest gift is love. :)


1 Corinthians 13:13
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.(love)

1 Corinthians 13 "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.[SUP]2 [/SUP]And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
[SUP]5 [/SUP]Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
[SUP]7 [/SUP]Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. (LOVE) :)

Actually the greatest gift from God is life!

God did not have to create us!

There was no outside force compelling God to create us!

Its life with God for all Eternity which IS the Greatest gift!
