The Ground Rules for Faith

Christians need to be taught about faith, because it's in every aspect of our daily life.

We are saved by grace throuh faith. 
Ephesians 2:8
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

We live by faith.
Galatians 3:11
But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.”

We walk by faith and not be what we see in this world.
2 Corinthians 5:7
For we walk by faith, not by sight.

We fight and win against the enemy by faith.
1 Timothy 6:12
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

We overcome the world by faith.
1 John 5:4
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

It is impossible to please God without faith. Unbelieve blocks Him from our lives. 
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Wirhout faith, we have no connection to grace.
Romans 4:16
Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all.

God is the God of faith, Jesus spoke faith. Words are the most powerful things in the world. Amen

Stay away from anger and revenge. Keep envy far from you, for it only leads you into lies. Psalm 37:8 Passion Boy does this speak to me. He was at meltdown point. The talking was not enough it was only getting worse. All balance and lucidity flushed away; he yelled like a toddler,  screaming out loud. But it is to no avail. It only last for seconds. Obscenities,  fears, overreaction all burst forth with no logical reason. It is no fun when your brain becomes unbalanced or over loaded. We misplace our sensibilities,  and rational thinking goes out the window. This is where God has given us the Holy Spirit to be with us, and to aid us in self-control and patience. Amen

Receptive

“If you tenderly care for this little childx on my behalf, you are tenderly caring for me. And if you care for me, you are honoring my Father who sent me. The one who is least important in your eyes is actually the most important one of all.”  Luke 9:48 Passion Jesus was open to meeting with anyone. The poor, the oppressed,  the broken and turned away. But especially He was receptive to children. God restores, those who are responsive to His openness receive everything He promises.  When we realize our true place before a righteous and holy God, there is a longing to receive mercy and forgiveness. Only then can He become the high priestly sacrifice that we all need. Amen

Intimacy

For love is supreme and must flow through each of these virtues. Love become the mark of maturity.  Colossians 3:14 Passion  God is our healer. He wants us to be close to Him. His desire is that our hearts be closely familiar with His. His specialty is ultimate intimacy, He so loves us and knows our very beings. Amen
