Author	Thread: Faith?
Admin	Faith? Posted : 23 May, 2011 09:38 PM Faith is the confident belief or trust in the truth or trustworthiness of a person, concept or thing, or a belief that is not based on proof. How can we have faith if we repeatedly disobey the word of god? I have heard people talking, about "once in grace always in grace" or so they put it and I really don't understand where this comes from! Doesn't the Parable of the Prodigal Son give the perfect example of one who has lost faith in the lord? That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ Isn't the trail of our faith, the way we lead our life born again? I believe a battle is raging everyday with the enemy. The choices we make build or faith.. And no matter how much faith we think we have everyone could stand for allot more building. Post Reply

His Personality won our hearts and stengthen us and He is keeping us safe and saved. We are redeemed and our Redemption is Near. He is coming back to judge us! We should be ready! Post Reply
View Profile History	Faith? Posted : 23 May, 2011 10:27 PM Yes! What I am looking for is where if anywhere but the enemy does this once in faith always in faith mentality come from? I know we will be judged in the returning of our lord. More importantly how can we explain this to those that believe they are safe in the eyes of the lord but still living in the ways of the world?

View Profile History	Faith? Posted : 23 May, 2011 10:57 PM Here is something I would like to share taken from some notes of a sermon. You must put your faith into action, because Faith does not work just becaseu you have it... Faith works when you work it. Take action! If you started something, God will finish it. Faith does not demand details from God. Faith commands ACTION FROM YOU!.... If God said you can do it... then JUST DO IT! Bishop TD Jakes sermon "Put Your Faith Into Action" Side Bar: As Chritsians mature, they should seek to continue to grow in their faith. This was the experience of Abraham, and he is the father of our faith as we see in Romans chpater 4. Early in his pilgrimage with God, he could not trust God to protect him in Egpyt. This was weak faith. But later he was able to trust God in sacrificing his own son Isaac, this was strong faith. Our life as believers is forever gorwing and God takes us from faith ot faith in all things. But we must learn to lean and depend upon Jesus and endure the trials and tests God allows to come our way in order to strengthen our faith. Each round of our faith gets harder and hard to endure,as we go from faith to faith, and from glory to glory, and our goal should be to become overcomers with our faith rooted in God's promises.

View Profile History	Faith? Posted : 23 May, 2011 11:18 PM If Grace is the unmerited favor of God, if there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus, if Jesus died for us while we were still yet sinners, if Jesus was crucified from the foundation of the world...... .....then I humbly ask : How can we ever be out of His Grace? I do agree however, 'faith builds faith' Post Reply

View Profile History	Faith? Posted : 24 May, 2011 05:48 AM Two it is very simple if one will study and know the topic of faith, you realize everything you have is because of your faith in action, in otherwords faith is not understood and known. Post Reply
View Profile History	Faith? Posted : 24 May, 2011 06:00 AM Have to disagree, P.J. I don't think Everything I have is a result of my faith in action. Some things come ONLY through God's grace and mercy. ( Welcome, fisherofmen) Post Reply
