I have faith

February 2, 2018 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

I have faith in God. 

Jesus replied, “Have faith in God [constantly].  – Mark 11:22

Faith is having a deep “[abiding trust in God and His promises].” (1 Corinthians 13:verse 12 (AMP))

Faith is “the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed).” (Hebrews 11:1)

Faith is “an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God“.  (Hebrews 11:3)

Hebrews 11:1-3   Amplified Bible (AMP)   

1 Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses].

2 For by this [kind of] faith the [a]men of old gained [divine] approval.

3 By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were framed and created [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.

1 Corinthians 13:verses 12-13   Amplified Bible (AMP)

12 For now [in this time of imperfection] we see in a mirror dimly [a blurred reflection, a riddle, an enigma], but then [when the time of perfection comes we will see reality] face to face. Now I know in part [just in fragments], but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known [by God].

13 And now there remain:

faith [abiding trust in God and His promises],

hope [confident expectation of eternal salvation],

love [unselfish love for others growing out of God’s love for me],

these three [the choicest graces];

but the greatest of these is love.


What kind of faith do you have? 
What kind of faith do these verses describe? 
What verse here describes your kind of faith?

Matthew 10:38
And he who does not take his cross [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me] is not worthy of Me.
 
Luke 8:13
Those on the rocky soil are the people who, when they hear, receive and welcome the word with joy; but these have no firmly grounded root. They believe for a while, and in time of trial and temptation they fall away [from Me and abandon their faith].
 
Matthew 16:24
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me].
 
Luke 9:23
And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross daily [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me].
 
Matthew 15:28
Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, your faith [your personal trust and confidence in My power] is great; it will be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed from that moment.
 
Matthew 8:26
He said to them, “Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was [at once] a great and wonderful calm [a perfect peacefulness].
 
Luke 17:5
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith [our ability to confidently trust in God and in His power].”
 
Matthew 9:29
Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith [your trust and confidence in My power and My ability to heal] it will be done to you.”
 
Luke 18:17
I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God [with faith and humility] like a child will not enter it at all.”
 
Matthew 21:21
Jesus replied to them, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, if you have faith [personal trust and confidence in Me] and do not doubt or allow yourself to be drawn in two directions, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen [if God wills it].
 
Mark 10:25
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man [who places his faith in wealth or status] to enter the kingdom of God.”
 
Luke 6:24
But woe (judgment is coming) to you who are rich [and place your faith in possessions while remaining spiritually impoverished], for you are [already] receiving your comfort in full [and there is nothing left to be awarded to you].
 
John 6:47
I assure you and most solemnly say to you, he who believes [in Me as Savior—whoever adheres to, trusts in, relies on, and has faith in Me—already] has eternal life [that is, now possesses it].
 
Hebrews 11:24-26
By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter….  He considered the reproach of the Christ [that is, the rebuke he would suffer for his faithful obedience to God] to be greater wealth than all the treasures of Egypt; for he looked ahead to the reward [promised by God].

Hebrews 11:27
By faith he left Egypt, being unafraid of the wrath of the king; for he endured [steadfastly], as seeing Him who is unseen.
 
Hebrews 11:31
By faith Rahab the prostitute was not destroyed along with those who were disobedient, because she had welcomed the spies [sent by the sons of Israel] in peace.
 
Hebrews 12:1
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who by faith have testified to the truth of God’s absolute faithfulness], stripping off every unnecessary weight and the sin which so easily and cleverly entangles us, let us run with endurance and active persistence the race that is set before us,

No Faith In Heaven

We must seek after God

Peace within our own boundaries is not guaranteed.  It is so important in these days that we all draw near to God, and pray.  We must seek after God, while He yet can be found. Deuteronomy 4:29  “…seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your […]

The Triumph of Evil

Evil has been beating good frequently ever since the Creation of our tiny earth world.  It just did it again (January 7, 2021).  Evil won the day. Big, evil events have often splattered history: Eve fell for the Serpent’s lies Adam fell for the seduction of Eve’s greed and envy Man’s wanton sinfulness went worldwide […]

Tolerating evil

We see a lot of evil in the world these days.  And, an awful lot of folks tolerate it. But, here’s the thing: if you tolerate bad behavior, you in effect are condoning the bad. Jesus’ disciple John teaches us this about that: “…the one who practices [or permits or tolerates] evil has not seen […]
