1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
The Works Of Faith
.. Our faith is not only just believing but it is believing in a living person. The Word of God is living, it is alive, it is our Lord and Saviour in whom we believe and we confess. I want us to look at Romans 4 verse 20 and here it speaks of Abraham, how that by faith he was justified. He wasn’t justified by just being justified, his justification was his belief that produced works of faith. God placed him in situations to bring about the works of faith, and that is what The Lord does with us..
Righteousness Faith and Removing Mountains
.. Your everyday walk with God is so that you work the works of faith – that reveals your justification before Him. You cannot have justification without works and you cannot have works without justification.. We are justified – righteousness is imputed to us – on the basis of our believing and producing the works of faith. It is all there with all the saints that walked with God. That is why God was able to say ‘ I will reap a seed from you who will walk like you did. ‘ [Romans 4] That is why God made covenant with him – God was revealing through him what faith can do in removing mountains..
Galatians 3:7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
Righteousness Revealed Step By Step
.. We see with this man and Sarah his wife supernatural things that happened that could not happen in the natural. We know the story – it blows your mind – these are just some of the things that our walk of faith produces. Did you know that each day God is working with you for a step or act of faith? He’s taking you step by step by step towards it. You may not be aware of it but He’s doing it to reveal not only to you but to the world and the powers of darkness that you belong to Him, that you are justified and that He has imputed His righteousness to you .. .. ..
Romans 4:19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
Acts 11:19 Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only. 20 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus. 21 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
Hebrews 11:23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment. 24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; 25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 26 esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
1 Peter 1:8 whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
