We Receive From God By Faith
ROMANS 5:1-2 NKJ
1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through
our Lord Jesus Christ,2 through whom also we have access by faith into this
grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
All we receive from God is by His grace. We do not deserve it, and we are not
able to earn it. It is a gift offered by grace.
But we must access it by faith.
GALATIANS 3:14 NKJ
14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus,
that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
We receive through faith. Whether we are receiving the Holy Spirit or
receiving healing. Whatever we receive from God must be received by faith.
HEBREWS 6:12 NKJ
12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and
patience inherit the promises.
There are many promises in the Bible. If you want them to be manifest in your
life, you must possess them through faith and patience.
MATTHEW 9:29 NKJ
29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith let it be to
you."
This is the statement of Jesus. It is valid for you today just as it was
then. You will receive from God according to your faith.
Do not let this discourage you. Rather it should encourage you. Although your
faith may not be strong now, you can strengthen it by feeding on the Word of
God. It is under your control.
God's Word is faith food. The more you read it, speak it, and hear it, the
stronger your faith will grow.
SAY THIS: I will feed on God's Word and build my faith so I can receive all
the blessings God has for me.
