Hebrews 11 is the hall
of faith chapter where we read of the mighty men and women of God conquering in
faith. Verse 6 is a familiar one but has
been in my mind all morning. "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." (
We are called believers
because everything flows out of our believing in God! You cannot be an
unbelieving believer. We must first believe that God is … Like God told Moses
He is the I Am. We must believe that He
is the healer, provider, redeemer, counselor, etc. Then we have to hold on to the promise that
as we seek Him, He imparts those things to us. And then we will have the same testimony of
the heroes of faith who by faith overcame the obstacle.
Romans 1:16 "For I am
not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to
salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from
faith to faith; as it is written, 'The just shall live by faith.'"
The power is there for
the believer. For every Christian this is a walk of faith from beginning to
end. We begin in faith and we will only
progress in faith. Like Paul says in
these verses it will be from faith to faith. We will live by our faith.
Romans chapter 4 is
another faith chapter that reminds us that the faith of Abraham began a
covenant that we have inherited. And
that faith produces righteousness.
Chapter 5 goes on to say…
Romans 5:1 "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."
