Faith 2

Faith continued: 2 Tim.1:12; Hebrews 10:22.

Hebrews 10:22— let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

A true heart in full assurance of our faith.

James 2:21-25—- Doing good works is an evidence of our faith.

James 2:17,20,26– without fruit faith is dead.

Matt.17:20; 21:21; Mark 9:23—- Faith will help us through our storms in life.

1 Cor.16:13— we are to be strong in our faith.

Col.1:23 states we are to be grounded or rooted in our faith.

1 Timothy 1:19–having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck, we are to hold firm to our faith with a good conscience.

Luke 17:5— we are to pray for our faith to increase.

Fear knocked at the door. Faith answered. And lo, no one was there. ~Author Unknown
Acts 11:2o-21(New King James Version)

20 But some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus. 21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

When some had heard and through faith excepted the news about Jesus they were converted. Faith leads to conversion!

Hebrews 12:1-2 (New King James Version)
Hebrews 12
The Race of Faith
1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Jesus the Christ is the author and finisher of our faith!

1 Cor. 12:9— Faith is a gift of the Holy Spirit!

Faith is the bird that sings when the dawn is still dark. ~Rabindranath Tagore
