Faith Springs From Faith

Scripture: Romans 1:17 "From faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith."

God has an extraordinary and powerful plan to rescue the believers who trust in Him. From faith to faith or from start to finish, God works within us to bring about His awesome plan. His plan is the glorious gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ. This gospel of salvation has three facets. His salvation redeems us from past sins. It gives us eternal life in Heaven. And, it also equips us with God's strength to help us live in Heaven's victory while we are still here on Earth. The gospel of Jesus Christ never changes. He and His gospel of salvation is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8 ).

The just are to live by faith and that faith will come by hearing the word of God. Only the word of God will set us free and bring us total salvation for the past, present, and future. Many are born again and can believe that their salvation experience will take them to Heaven. It is wonderful that they have received faith's assurance for tomorrow's future, yet, these born again believers can't seem to operate in the faith that allows them to forgive themselves or to believe that God has forgiven them for the sins of their past. Their spirits are saved and they are on their journey towards glory, but their minds are not renewed and their souls linger in the pits of doubt. They carry much baggage of guilt and shame because they cannot let go of the memories of what they have done. There are others who have faith to believe for eternal salvation and are also able to receive forgiveness for the things of their past, but they have no faith to live in today's victory. They flounder around in the sea of unbelief when it comes to trusting God for their present deliverance, protection, preservation, healing, and provision for their needs.

When we gave our hearts to Jesus, He did a total work in our lives. He immediately began a work in us and we can "be confident in this one thing, that He Who began a good work in us will complete it unto the end" (Philippians 1:6). For that reason, when we look at our lives, we should not become discouraged. We must realize that the Lord is not finished with us yet. His work is progressive as He takes us from faith to faith. We are made just by faith in Him and then our faith in Him becomes a daily process. We can be assured that the Lord will not desert us on our journey or stop in the middle of our progress, but will continue to develop us right up to the time of His return. Faith springs from faith. The initial faith that we received leads to more faith. As we receive the Word of faith daily, the Lord transforms us and renews our mind. Faith arouses greater faith so that we no longer waver in any area of life. We must understand that it is only as we have faith in God and totally trust our past, present, and future lives to Him, that we, being justified, will really learn to live!

Say Today I Will Operate In Faith Today!
Because My Faith Springs From Faith!

May He Bless You and Keep You Today!

With Great Love
IN HIS SERVICE
