Why faith?
Why Faith?
Many have asked the question; why faith? Why doesn’t God just reveal Himself to mankind with one foot on the moon and the other on the Earth? Mankind would not need faith if He did so. Why is the Word of God full of words like Faith, Belief and Hope?
When using human logic the whole concept of faith doesn’t make any since in our minds if God could just reveal Himself once and for all. The question is never really directly addressed in the Word of God. It is however indirectly mentioned throughout the Bible.
Look to the spirit for understanding on this subject and not your own logic. The only thing that makes any since (Thinking in the spirit) is that God dwelled with His people in the first age and the great rebellion took place despite YHVH being with His people in direct revelation and contact with Him.
I find this hard to understand but the references to this great rebellion are woven throughout God’s Word. The redemptive plan of God is for those who worshiped satan in the first age but it is also for those in this age as well. The sacrifice made on the Cross transcends the ages and it is the way back to perfect standing with YHVH.
After all is said and done we will go back to the original purpose of our existence and that is to love our Heavenly Father without reservations.
YHVH has taken drastic measures to reclaim the love of His children from satan. In this age He has chosen “faith” as a way back to Him, whereas before we had direct access and still 1/3 of His children worship satan and turned their back on YHVH in the first age.
The Word of God is our hand book back to Him, it is the essence of our faith, hope and belief that He is who He says He is. Without it we cannot please Him. The influence of satan in this world is very strong just as it was in the first rebellion. You and you alone will choose your destiny and you are free to make the choice.
The physical world holds many witnesses to the existence of God and even the rocks cry out to His very existence. But the Word of God and Jesus is our main evidence of who YHVH is. It is the hand book to eternal life and fellowship with God.
The Word of God should be preeminent in every Christian’s life. It is a testimony of our God’s very existence. Within it are the genealogies of His people including the gentiles; A story of a man and His family. It is full of the purpose and council of YHVH.
Every Church and gathering should make understanding the Bible the number one priority in their efforts to promote the Christian faith. Nothing else will satisfy the need to know God better than the Word. Knowing the Word will help the individual know God and learn to recognize His voice and actions in their everyday life.
Every Church should be a school of discipleship and focus to the next level of Apostleship. No amount of Church activity can substitute the hard word work it takes to fully understand the Bible. Only after graduating to Apostleship are you fully qualified to be a teacher Pastor.
The world is full of unqualified Pastors who have no business teaching or leading a flock. The Word has been put on the backburner in much of the Christian world. How can the Word be taught if the teacher doesn’t know it? Many congregations are being starved to death for meat and they are only getting milk. As a result Christianity has lost its salt and power and it is impotent in the world. This has been perpetuated for generations and now we have a version of Christianity that is full of fairy tales and half truths.
A new reformation is needed and a change needs to come now.
The Word
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
John 4:40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
41 And many more believed because of his own word;
42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
Faith
Romans 3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
2 Corinthians 10:15 Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,
1 Thessalonians 1:3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
James 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
James 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Spirit and Truth
John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Ephesians 5:9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
2 Thessalonians 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
1 John 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
1 John 5:6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
1st age; The trial of satan and those who followed him in the great overthrow (Katuballo)
Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
Job 2:1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
Before the overthrow
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
This is the original purpose of our existence and this will what we will go back to after the GWTJ Eternal praise to our GOD and FATHER
Romans 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
