“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”
Hebrews 11:3
“And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.”
Genesis 1:3
this is faith in It’s purest form , God says let there be , and it becomes out of nothing what his word declares and calls forth from darkness light . The same principle there applies to our minds and hearts when we hear what God said about a matter and believe as if we understand his word is creations source
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Romans 10:17 KJV
then you have faith working through a man who hears notice it still is based upon what God declared only now it’s in the form of telling a man something they have to hear and believe and act upon for the manifestation to come forth so notice Gods word still is the source of what is done and what results from the action
“And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:”
Exodus 10:21-22
also notice what God said is different it’s now an invite for Moses to believe and experience faiths power that created light , but the result is the same his word happens just as he speaks it this time moses heard what he said to do and believed what would happen
so he did it by faith Moses action was based on what God had told him to do and what the result would be this is a word of faith and just as the light was spoken by god in the beginning so light is spoken into our hearts by the word of Christ Jesus in the gospel turning the darkness in us to light
“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness,
hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
2 Corinthians 4:6 KJV
the natural light first and then the spiritual light after
the natural and light of creation by Gods declaration
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. …And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.”
Genesis 1:1, 3 KJV
and the spiritual light which is in man
“In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
John 1:1-5, 9-10, 12-13 KJV
His word is faith whatever Jesus said is sent to all People for salvation that’s the word he sent to us all the gospel, the things about himself and what he said and our belief in him and in his truth.
The same word which commanded the light , commands life and death
“And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.”
John 11:43-44
commands the winds and seas
“And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
Mark 4:39, 41
he also commands eternal salvation and invites us to believe
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
The audience is expanded from Israel to all creation for the gospel Jesus preached and established in the earth it is faith the law was not a word of faith
“But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
… But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
Galatians 3:11-12, 23-27, 29 KJV
this is an important distinction to make Christs word is faith the law is. NOt a word of faith one is Moses mediating gods word the other isn’t . It is by the gospel alone we can belong to Gods everlasting family because his word is the same which speaks forth creation and is always truth and faith
