TO HAVE FAITH IN GOD

December 27,1998

In order to have faith, there must be two elements present: The believer in Christ must believe...

1. That God is OMNIPOTENT (All Powerful); OMNISCIENT (ALL Knowing) and OMNIPRESENT (Being Everywhere At All Times)
2. That God will respond when a believer in Christ calls upon Him.

Here is what the Bible states:
God has spoken, he CANNOT LIE! Hebrews 6:13-20
God's Word shall never be broken! Isaiah 55:6-13
God is supreme! Isaiah 45:18-23, 46:9-11
Jesus, who is God, John 1:1-14; is in possession of all power! Revelation 1:10-18; Matthew 28:18-20
God does not tolerate unbelief! Hebrews 11:6
Does God intervene in people's lives? YES! Matthew 8:23-27

What is the position of the believer in Christ?
God's Word tells us that a Christian is a joint heir with Christ! Romans 8:11-17
God's Word tells us that God is not a respecter of persons! Acts 10:34 Romans 2:12
God's Word tells us that all believers in Christ are equal! Galatians 3:26-29
God's Word tells us that God gave us power to become sons of God! John 1:12-14
God's Word fells us that each believer in Christ is a king and a priest!
I Peter 2:5-9; Revelation 1: 1-6

Here is how Jesus did it when he walked on this earth:

REMEMBER: Faith in God cannot exist if there is unforgiveness! Verses 25-46
